William Henry Buck (American/Louisiana, 1840-1888), "Louisiana Bayou: Live Oaks and Water Lilies at Dusk", oil on canvas, signed lower right, 13 in. x 17 3/4 in., period frame Provenance: Estate of a St. Louis, Missouri collector. Note: William Henry Buck's romantic and atmospheric depictions of the Louisiana landscape are noted for his moss-laden live oak trees and views of bayous. He achieved a recognizable compositional style which makes his work discernible from that of his contemporaries. As shown in the work offered here, Buck often paints a large live oak tree placed prominently within the picture, creating an anchor for the scene. This landscape is depicted just after the sun has set with dark trees silhouetted against a fiery sky ablaze with hues of yellow and orange. Lily pads in bloom float in the foreground of the bayou illuminated with the reflection of the sunset.
