- Lot Description
Blue-Winged Teal Hen
Stephen Lane (1843-1900)
Lacon, IL, c. 1885
11 in. long
Finding Lane decoys in original paint is nearly impossible. Lane is one of the earliest recorded Midwestern decoy makers. He was also a talented woodworker who professionally constructed everything from houses to wagons to furniture. Born in Good Luck, New Jersey, his family moved to a farm in Lacon, Illinois, while he was in his teens. The farm was near prime duck hunting habitat and it did not take Lane long to immerse himself in the growing market gunning movement.
This highly refined decoy showcases Lane's distinct Lacon style. The form is complimented with Catherine Elliston's exceptional paint with tight swirls. The underside has a partial brand that appears to read "C.S. WILCOX."
Original paint with even gunning wear, touch-up to bill and reset crack in neck.
Provenance: Masterworks of the Illinois River Collection
Literature: Stephen O'Brien Jr. and Julie Carlson, "Masterworks of the Illinois River," Boston, MA, 2005, p. 26, exact decoy illustrated.
