- Lot Description
PRIOR-HAMBLIN SCHOOL (NEW ENGLAND, MID 19TH CENTURY) FOLK ART PORTRAIT OF A CHILD, oil on artist's board, a fine example depicting a handsome young boy with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing an ochre dress with white lace edging and holding a cherry-laden branch. Unsigned. Housed in a modern paint-decorated frame. Mid 19th century. 12" x 8 3/4” sight, 15 3/4" x 12 1/2" OA.
Provenance: From a New York City collection.
Catalogue Note: William Matthew Prior (1806-1873) and Sturtevant Hamblin (1817-1884) were both born in Maine, and both were associated with painting at a young age. Hamblin grew up in a family of painters and glaziers and began working with his father and brothers early on, and Prior is known to have been painting professionally by the age of eighteen. In 1828, when the older Prior married the younger Sturtevant's sister, Rosamond, the two men began a personal and professional association that would last for decades and lead to some degree of success for both. Around 1840, the Prior's moved to Boston, and Hamblin followed shortly thereafter. In Boston the duo operated a garret-type portrait painting operation, and works identified with the studio are often attributed to the "Prior-Hamblin School" as it is difficult to distinguish one artist's hand from the other. Prior-Hamblin School portraits of children are highly prized, and several are recognized as American folk art masterpieces.Artist’s board with warped areas, a few dents, and minor creases/cracks. Bottom of artist’s board likely trimmed approximately two inches.Condition
