Lot 198
Thomas Bigelow Craig (American/New York, 1849-1924), "Scene Along the Susquehanna River", oil on canvas, signed lower left, 24 1/8 in. x 42 1/8 in., in a period giltwood frame with brass artist's plaque. Provenance: Descended in the family of Berthe Marie Olivier de Vezin de Tarnowsky (b. 1882) of New Orleans. Note: Philadelphia-born artist Thomas Bigelow Craig, who was largely self-taught, exhibited at the National Academy of Design for forty-five years. His works include many scenes of the Northeast, particularly the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Craig's works often depict pastoral landscapes and include cattle and waterways, both of which feature prominently in the current lot. However, the inclusion of the bridge, trees, mountains, and the road with a solitary figure make this painting one of Craig's most complex and intriguing.
