Almost Barbizon… but not quite. Moody for sure! This early 20th century French oil on hardboard found in Paris falls just outside the Barbizon period but retains the distinctive characteristics of that French genre. George Smith, an American from Philadelphia, must have studied in Paris between the two Great Wars and found this single woman reading on a park bench a perfect subject for his “mood.” “Jeune Femme, Banc de Park” was painted in 1935 and is signed/dated lower right. Framed in a more recent French frame 26 x 30, $675.

Italian… But with a New York accent. Early 20th century oil on chamfered wooden panel from a Big Apple estate where other Italian jewels were found. Still bearing its New York label on verso, we have left it in its original 11 x 16 frame circa 1920. The gathered clouds over the mountain range, the lake at the foot, and the village in the mid -ground all done in a soft pallet is most pleasing. $345.

Nuances and Juxtapositions. Oil on artist board painted about 1950–60 and artist framed in earlier stained oak with pressed liner 25 x 25 frame. Nuanced because of the wonderful salmon and moss-green vegetation in the bank foreground and mid-ground. Juxtaposition because of the verticality of the riverside trees with their opposing reflections. Signed lower right by the New Jersey German-American plain aire artist Frederick Rudisill; we unfortunately do not know where his inspiration for this delightful painting originated… Somewhere in his favorite New Jersey haunts, or somewhere along his beloved Rhine. Charming, nevertheless! $525.

wonderful oil on canvas painted about 1910 by the renowned Austrian equestrian Alexander Pock
(1871-1950.). Known for his marvelous horse portraits, often with their owners astride, Pock occasionally intertwined his skills with a religious motif. In this painting “The Postillion”, the coachman has stopped the open carriage in front of the monastery graveyard and repeats the same note on his horn over and over below the Christ honor the nobleman’s dear friend buried there, while he waits reverently in the open coach. A very touching and poignant scene, especially as we remember loved ones who have fallen along the way. 24 x 34 in its original bronzed frame, $950.

Picasso(1881-1973) had his”Blue Period “...1901-1904. Cesare Ricciardi (1892-1973) had his
“Moonlit Harbor Period” two decades later....1928-1935.
Contemporaries, both used monochromatic paint in blue and gray tones. Picasso painted during a deep depression following the su***de of his friend Casagenas at the L’Hippodrome Cafe in Paris, February, 1901. Although Ricciardi’s blue works do not feel as though they were painted during such saddness, one can only speculate. An Italian immigrant, he studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts under the influential training of Thomas Anshutz, Cecelia Beaux, Hugh Breckenridge and Robert Henri. Traveling to Paris for further studies, he later became a member of the Philadelphia Sketch Club and the Philadelphia Art Alliance. His specialty was society portraits, but he traveled to New England often which led to his early moonlit harbor and dock scenes, especially in the Boston area. It is interesting that both of these artists’ blue periods are some of the most sought after their works today. 21 x 26 in original oil gilt frame, signed and dated “1931”, L/L, $1250. - [] ointeriordesign n sign interiordesign design ecor
