John J. Zang (American, b. 1859), "Three Robins Amid Snowy Branches", oil on canvas, signed "John J. Zang" lower right, 20 in. x 30 in., in a period decorated gold leaf cove frame. E2000-3000 Note: Best known for his more narrative winter landscapes of farm scenes in the upper Hudson Valley, Zang is documented with only one dated work, painted in the Yosemite Valley in 1883. He evidently also worked in Europe or under European influence ("Alpine Woodsmen", "Stag Hunt", "River Landscape"), to which the abstract patterning of this interestingly unusual painting may refer, with its evocation of the Aesthetic movement and even of Art Nouveau.
