Attributed to Samuel Bell Waugh (1814-1885) Portrait of George Hudson Beaman (1810-1899) of Poultney, VT Bearing labels with sitter information verso, oil on canvas, framed. (27 in. x 23 1/4 in. (sight)) Footnote: Note George Hudson Beaman was born in Poultney, Vermont, and was the owner and editor of the Rutland Herald. In 1844, he purchased the struggling Herald, which changed hands in 1840 after the death of its former owner William Fay. Beaman sought to change the newspaper's direction, making it more modern and streamlined, and burned Fay's records as both a symbolic and literal act of progress. Additionally, Beaman was a Whig and abolitionist, and aimed for the Herald's mission to reflect those principles. The Rutland Herald, although going through a number of subsequent changes, still operates today. For more information, see "A Timeline of the Herald's Own History: Two Hundred Years Reporting the News," Rutland Herald, December 7, 2019. Condition report: 36 in. x 32 in. (frame); great overall condition; some cracquelure commensurate with age; minor retouching (if any); frame is period, with some minor losses to gilding and gesso

19th Century Oil Painting by Samuel B. Waugh
Est: $1,500 - $5,000
19th Century Oil Painting by prominent and well listed American Portrait Artist Samuel B. Waugh | Oil Painting on Canvas affixed to board | Entitled “Fond Recollection” | Hand Signed in paint by artist | Housed in a beautiful gold gilded carved frame with Brass Title/Artist Plate “Fond Recollection S. B. Waugh | Dimensions: Image only 27″ x 23″, with frame 32″ x 28” | Very Good Condition. Samuel Waugh (1814 in Mercer, Pennsylvania – 1885) was a 19th-century American painter. Waugh became one of the most famous portrait painters in the northeast. Waugh Painted numerous famous portraits of prominent leaders of government and industry including Abraham Lincoln, Jane Mercer, and the critically acclaimed portrait of Ulysses S. Grant in December 1868, which is now in the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institute. Arthur Edwin Bye observed, ”Waugh has interpreted Grant at his best, in warm, rich, well-blended tones, with earnest expression. It is the man, not the hero nor President, who is presented here.” Waugh often painted subjects relating to the aftermath of the Civil War. In this painting, the "Fond Recollection," a lady is looking with affection at a picture being held up by an older man. One can imagine this as a common scene after the war when wives and daughters might spend moments reflecting on loved ones lost in the conflict.
