Harry J. Sunter (New York, Massachusetts 1850-1900) Oil on Canvas "Dories at Low Tide", depicting three beached dories tied to tree trunk pilings and two figures in the distance, signed lower left Sunter '85, in original period carved giltwood frame. A student of William Henry Yates, active in New York's Finger Lakes and coastal New England, Sunter's national exhibitions include the National Academy of Design and the 1876 United States Centennial Exhibition at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art. The latter institution continued to exhibit Sunter's then-emerging work for more than a quarter century after an untimely death ended the artist's short but impressive career. It should be noted: during prior Osona sales of Sunter's work, prices realized were $30,000 for "Mending
the Nets", circa 1885 (sold in 2016) and $24,200 for "A Sand Beach, South Beach, Nantucket, Massachusetts, 1885” (sold in 1997). It is Osona's opinion that “Dories at
Low Tide,” also signed and dated 1885 was likely also to have been painted on Nantucket Island.
