- Lot Description
Frank W. Benson (1862-1951)
Interior, Mud Room, 1924
signed and dated "F.W. Benson 24" lower left
watercolor, 16 by 22 in.
This work depicts the interior of the artist’s gunning camp located In Eastham, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod. It is very likely the companion piece for the Fisherman’s Bedroom, which was gifted by Ralph W. Gray to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Benson once reflected, “I made two pretty good watercolors, one of the interior of my room - tumbled bed with striped blankets and a dent in the pillow where my head had rested; kerosene lamp on the table and old pants hanging between the windows. Eleanor has the other one- the living room looking into the kitchen, the gun racks and cartridge box, it would amuse you to see them.”
Provenance: The artist
Collection of Katherine Shaw Kripke and Samuel Benson Shaw, by descent in the family
Literature: Faith Andrews Bedford, The Sporting Art of Frank W. Benson, Boston: David R. Godine, 2000, p. 47 the artist discussing the paintings of his Eastham camp.Condition
