Andrew John Henry Way (American/Baltimore, 1826-1888), "Still Life with Pearls, Portrait and a Vase", oil on canvas, signed lower right, stamped "Kellinger McCoy...Baltimore" en verso, "A. Miller", New York label affixed to frame, 16 1/8 in. x 12 1/8 in. Note: Andrew John Henry Way began his career as a portraitist, but under the influence of artist Emanuel Leutze, decided to devote himself entirely to still-life painting, for which he quickly "acquired a reputation for his adroit rendering of various species of fruit", among other subjects. With careful, scientific precision, lustrous palette and dexterous handling of the reflective qualities of light, Way's pursuit of art in the Dusseldorf style of still-life painting was so successful that he became one of the most beloved and sought-after of Baltimore's mid-century artists.
