    • Large oil painting of Henry Clay c.1845
      Jun. 27, 2024

      Large oil painting of Henry Clay c.1845

      Est: $2,000 - $3,000

      Heading: (Clay, Henry) Author: Gould, Walter G., attrib. Title: Portrait of Henry Clay Place Published: No place Publisher: Date Published: c,1845-49 Description: Oil painting on canvas. 115x87 cm (45¼x34¼”) plus frame; overall 127x99 cm (50x39”).Period copy of a portrait of the noted American statesman painted from life by John Neagle (American, 1799-1865) in 1843. This reduced copy is attributed to, but not signed by, the American artist Walter Gould (1829-1893). Neagle‘s original painting is in the collection of the Union League of Philadelphia, and an autograph copy is in the U.S. Capitol Building. There are a small number of the copies by Gould known to exist. Both Neagle and Gould were natives of Philadelphia and two of the most respected portraitists of their day. At an early age, Gould studied with the landscape painter John Rowson Smith and the portraitist Thomas Sully. At age 15, he exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy. This portrait was completed before Gould reached the age of 20 because in that year, 1849, Gould left America for Europe, soon settling in Florence. He built a considerable artistic reputation in Europe as a painter of Orientalist subjects, which were prized both for their originality of design and skillful coloration and draftsmanship. His American portrait work is quite rare since most of these pictures which he housed in Fredericksburg, Virginia, were destroyed in the Civil War.Additional shipping charges may apply

      FROM THE FLANNER & BUCHANAN CORPORATE COLLECTION WALTE

      Est: $8,000 - $12,000

      FROM THE FLANNER & BUCHANAN CORPORATE COLLECTION WALTER G. GOULD (American, 1829-1893) after JOHN NEAGLE Henry Clay Oil on canvas 34-1/4 x 27 inches (87.0 x 68.6 cm) Signed lower left PROVENANCE: Berry-Hill Galleries, New York (label verso). This painting is a fine copy of a portrait of the noted American statesman painted from life by John Neagle (American, 1799-1865) in 1843. Neagle's original painting is in the collection of the Union League of Philadelphia, and an autograph copy is in the U.S. Capitol Building. Yet another larger copy made in 1852 by Ambrose Andrews resides in Clay's estate, Ashland, in Lexington, Kentucky. In this smaller painting made after Neagle's composition, Gould skillfully captures all the nuances of Neagle's original, notably the remarkable expression in the mouth. Both Neagle and Gould were natives of Philadelphia and two of the most respected portraitists of their day. Gould also enjoyed a considerable artistic reputation in Europe as a painter of Orientalist subjects, which were prized both for their originality of design and skillful coloration and draftsmanship. His American portrait work is quite rare since most of these pictures which he housed in Fredericksburg, Virginia, were destroyed in the Civil War. This powerfully painted piece demonstrates his skill at its best.
