William Woodward (American/New Orleans, 1859-1939), "Pass Christian on the Gulf", 1905, oil on canvas, signed, dated and inscribed "Pass Christian" lower right, signed, titled, inscribed "New Orleans, La" and "F.F. Hansell & Bro. Ltd., Artists Materials and Picture Frames, New Orleans, LA " stamps en verso, 25 in. x 40 in., framed. Provenance: Plant City, FL Estate. Note: William Woodward became enamored of the Mississippi Gulf Coast as an artistic destination beginning in 1891. He was clearly inspired by the tropical beauty of the landscape and Gulf waters. He and his family spent time in Ocean Springs, Pass Christian and Biloxi, where Woodward would eventually retire and spend the later years of his life. The large and masterful painting offered here from 1905 depicts a bright, sunny day in Pass Christian. The alley of live oak trees casts dappled shade along the road, while an African-American figure carrying a sack walks along the sidewalk. A sailboat is visible in the distance on the bright blue Gulf waters. Two other views of Pass Christian of the same size but of different vantage points are illustrated in William Woodward: American Impressionist, plates 135-136.
