Portrait of a Gentleman, Attributed to Walter Ingalls, c. 1837 This refined portrait is strongly attributed to Walter Ingalls, a significant American portrait painter of his generation, which included Gilbert Stuart and Thomas Sully. Ingalls' works are in The Smithsonian, the U.S. Capitol, and several historical societies and museums. Born in New Hampshire in 1805, Ingalls spent part of each year in Washington D.C., where he leased a studio in the Senate building and painted many prominent political figures. Reference the New Hampshire Historical Society's catalog (1975) of Ingalls' work for similar portraits, specifically #17. Unframed. 21 1/2" x 25 3/4". Price: On Request. | ||||

A Fine English Watercolor, 1816 Detail of an 1816 Watercolor of Boyton House, painted by Vicars, and taken from a scrap album. Scrap books or albums date from the 18th century and contained a wide variety of hand written musings, paintings and drawings. The scrap album was looked upon as an extension of a diary - a pleasant reminder of joyful memories, travels and experiences. These early albums were objects of admiration, compiled mainly by women of a certain social standing. Mrs. Vicars certainly took great care in recording her memorable trip to Boyton House. Gold leaf frame, old glass. Note, our research shows this house still exists. It dates back to 1750 and is located in the town of Boyton, a small village in the East Anglian region of England. Dimensions: 10" x 7" framed. Price $ 1,250 | |||||
