Favorite Pastime. Burr H. Nicholls (1848-1915). Oil on canvas, 1880-81. Signed and dated lower right: "Burr H. Nicholls / 1880-81". 40 x 28 1/2 inches. Provenance: private collection, Armonk, New York, 1996 to 2006 Burr H. Nicholls was born in Lockport, New York, in 1848. Nicholls studied under the marine painter Lars G. Sellstedt at the Buffalo Academy, New York. He later studied under Carlous-Duran in Paris with fellow American artists William Picknell and Alexander Harrison. While abroad, Nicholls also painted at the artist colony in Pont-Aven, France. He is known for his studies of old Venice and of barnyard fowl. Nicholls Favorite Pastime depicts three small children playing with a toy sailboat at the waters edge. The smallest boy is ankle deep in the water, pulling the sailboat by a thin string, as a young girl watches from the steps of a rustic stone structure and a second boy watches from the dry bank. A large earthenware pitcher sits next to the girl on the steps, as she was probably sent to fetch water but delayed her task to watch the sailboat. The bright reds of the childrens clothing accent Nicholls palette of rich brown, taupe, and green, and the sunlight creates brilliant light and deep shadows across the scene. Nicholls exhibited at the Brooklyn Art Association from 1871 to 1873, 1879, 1882, 1884, and 1891; National Academy of Design from 1873 to 1895; Boston Art Club from 1891 to 1895; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art from 1882 to 1895; Art Institute of Chicago from 1888 to 1889, and 1894; and the Paris Salon from 1880 to 1882. Nicholls was a member of the Buffalo Society of Artists. Nicholls works can be found at the Heckscher Museum, Huntington, New York; the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy, New York; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia; and the Peabody Institute, Baltimore, Maryland.

wonderful antique oil painting on canvas by listed American artist Burr H. Nicholls (1848 - 1915)
Est: -
depicting a young girl feeding rooster, minor loss, frame is 29 1/2 x 25 1/2 art is 19 3/4 x 15 1/2 .Burr H. Nicholls is best known for his Breton scenes, which tend to be street scenes of peasant figures silhouetted against brightly sunlit walls. His career was less as an expatriate but no more easily traced. While in Venice he met the well known English watercolor specialist Rhoda Holmes; after they married they settled in New York City, where she became a highly regarded watercolor teacher. Nicholls was painting in Buffalo in 1896, and he was certainly there again in 1900 when he was active in the Buffalo Society of Artists and may have remained in the city during the early years of the present century. Born December, 1848, in Lockport, New York. He studied with Sellstedt in Buffalo, and with Carolus-Duran in Paris. Represented at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts by "Effect of Sunlight"; at Peabody Institute, Baltimore, by "Hunting Up a Quotation"; in Fine Arts Academy, Buffalo, by "A Group of Fowls." He died May 12, 1915, in Stamford, CT.
