ROBERT S. DUNCANSON (1821 - 1872)
Untitled (Woodland Scene).
Oil on canvas, circa 1860-65. 457x381 mm; 18x15 inches (oval). Signed in oil, lower right.
Provenance: private New York collection.
Exhibited: Hearne Fine Art, Little Rock, AK, and Mason Murer Fine Art, Atlanta, with the labels on the frame back.
This charming, oval-shaped landscape, with two small figures engaged in a woodland scene, is from Duncanson's mature period. This time of great success was interrupted by the Civil War and the subsequent upheaval that it brought to his life in Cincinnati. By 1863, he had fled to Canada, and was traveling through England and Scotland by 1865. Duncanson often looked to other artist's leads--this landscape shares strong compositional elements with Asher-Durand's woodlands scenes. With its single vanishing point entered by small figures, this painting shares similarities with Untitled (Landscape), circa 1860-65, sold at Swann Galleries on February 17, 2011 and included in Robert S. Duncanson: The Spiritual Striving of the Freedman's Son at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site Museum.
