Young Girl with Paper Dolls

Oil-on-canvas, Unsigned

Oval: 19” x 14 ¼”
Frame: 25 ½” x 20 ¾”

This charming study of a young girl intent on cutting out paper dolls is reminiscent of works by Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt and Pierre-Auguste Renoir (his earlier works). She is beautifully captured with her rosebud lips, her hair tied up in a bow, a lacy pinafore over her navy dress and stockinged legs ...

Watercolor on paper painting of a windmill, measuring 8 3/4" by 6" (14 1/2" by 11" framed), signed "A. L. Terrell" or similar at lower right, where the artist dated it "07" and added "The Hague". I do not see a listing by this name or similar possibilities, though there was an artist Adriaan Terhell who painted windmills in watercolor. I suppose it possible that this is a work by that artist, signing his name in a variation for some reason, but, even if it be not by that listed artist, it is d...

This is a really beautifully executed work, reminding of some of the vigorous portraits by masters like Robert Henri; but, efforts to identify the artist have not borne fruit. Since the work was purchased in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, I at first thought of Boston School artists, or perhaps...

Day Lilies in Japanese Vase by H. Badder, June 19, 1910. Framed Gouache 21 x 12", work measures 12“ x 9“

An outright rare monotype print work by a Northern California artist, works of whom rarely appear on the art market, JOHN ALOYSIUS STANTON (1857-1929).

A monotype is something of a hybrid between original art and a print; the artist creates the image on a glass or metal plate, which is pressed once or at most only a few times, into that plate, ...

Etching, 8 3/4" by 7" inside the mat, 14 1/4" by 12 3/4" framed, pencil signed at lower right margin, by the famous French artist, JEAN-FRANCOIS RAFFAELLI (1850-1924). This image of a building along a road, with small figures, is an example of the poetic impressionist style of his later period. Raffaelli found the common, the poor, the working class, and the underprivileged people of Paris and its industrial suburbs to be his favorite subjects, leading some to call him the "Millet of Paris". He...

At first glance, most people would think these are prints of some kind, but upon closer examination, incredibly, they turn out to be original watercolors, with amazing detail. Obviously the artist was a master, who no doubt created w...
