Artist: Unknown, signed JK
Year: c. 20th century
Medium: Graphite on paper
Style: Western, Figurative
Condition: Excellent
Description: This striking 20th century graphite on paper presents a compelling portrait of a Western cowboy rendered with remarkable detail and sensitivity. Though the artist remains unknown, the work is signed “JK” at lower right, indicating a confident hand and distinct artistic identity. The cowboy is depicted seated and holding a rifle across his lap, his steady gaze and composed posture conveying quiet resilience and frontier resolve.
Executed in nuanced shades of graphite, the drawing demonstrates strong control of light and shadow. Subtle gradations model the folds of his clothing, the texture of fringe and fabric, and the weathered features of his face. The hat casts a gentle shadow over his expression, enhancing the sense of character and lived experience. The simplicity of the background directs full attention to the figure, allowing the viewer to engage with the rugged individuality and timeless mythology of the American West.
Artist: M.A. Stone
Year: 1879
Medium: Oil on Board
Dimensions: 7.5 × 12 inches
Style: Hudson River School
Period: Mid 19th Century
Condition: Excellent
Description: M. A. Stone’s A Day of Fishing on the Cliffs, painted in the mid nineteenth century, is a striking and beautifully composed coastal landscape that captures both the grandeur of nature and the quiet rhythms of daily life. Though little is known about the artist, this work reflects a confident and highly capable hand, placing her within the rich tradition of American landscape painting during this formative period.
The composition unfolds along a vivid turquoise lake framed by rising mountains softened in atmospheric haze. In the foreground, a figure stands along a winding cliffside path, carrying fishing poles over his shoulder, while a small boat glides peacefully across the water below. Stone balances narrative detail with sweeping natural beauty, using warm earth tones in the foreground to contrast with the luminous blues of the lake and distant hills.
The painting is signed and dated lower left, affirming its authorship and standing as an important testament to a woman artist working with skill and ambition in the nineteenth century.
Artist: Lida A Dutton (Reon)
Year: c. 1920
Medium: Oil on canvas laid to board
Dimensions: 18 × 18 inches
Style: Impressionist
Period: Early 20th Century
Condition: Excellent
Description: Lida A. Dutton’s rolling hills landscape reflects both her refined training and her personal artistic lineage. A student of Theodore Robinson and a devoted disciple of the French Impressionist school, Dutton absorbed the principles of light, atmosphere, and broken color that defined late nineteenth century plein air painting. In this expansive rural scene, gently undulating hills recede into cool blue distances, while sunlit fields and clustered farm buildings create a harmonious sense of balance and tranquility.
Her brushwork is confident yet sensitive, particularly in the foreground where layered greens and varied textures animate the grasses and shrubs. The composition conveys both structure and spontaneity, hallmarks of Impressionist influence filtered through an American sensibility. As the aunt of artist Boone, Dutton stands within a meaningful artistic lineage, and this painting serves as a testament to her role in shaping and participating in early twentieth century American landscape traditions.
