Lot 451
Attributed to Thomas Worthington Whittredge, N.A. (American, 1820- 1910), "Sunset on a Marsh", mid-19th c., oil on academy board, possibly signed indistinctly lower right, printed F.W. Devoe & Co., New York, label (twice inscribed in pencil "Mrs. Nash") en verso, 6 in x 12 1/4 in., in a finely carved period giltwood frame. E3000-5000 Provenance: Mrs. Nash, New York (probably late 19th/early 20th c.) Note: This confident and swiftly executed study (perhaps painted en plein-air) of luminous sky, shadowed landscape, and reflective water displays a remarkable subtlety and sensitivity of tonal balance. In all those qualities it is exceptionally close to a parallel, dated work, Whittredge's "Scene on the Marsh" of 1851 (Anthony F. Janson, Whittredge, Cambridge, 1989, p. 39; see also Whittredge's "Fields Near Newport" in this catalogue).
