Harry Roseland Art

American, 1866-1950

Harry Roseland was one of the most prominent American subject picture painters of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is most famous today for his poignant and compassionate scenes depicting the working lives of poor African-Americans but his early portraits of young society beauties are much rarer and no less impressive. Today, Roseland’s most famous admirer is perhaps Oprah Winfrey whose favorite painting in her collection is Roseland's 1904 work To the Highest Bidder.

Harry Roseland Painting of Girl Mourning, circa 1886
By Harry Roseland
Located in Shippensburg, PA
A mournful scene of a young girl grieving the loss of her canary, this laying beside her on the desk where she buries her head in her arms. It is an incredibly rich scene, the photographic accuracy of shadow work precise against the vibrant colors of the moment. The scene insinuates that the girl should be focused on her studies, but probably will not be concentrating for some time while the loss remains fresh - her school tablet lies under an open book, a tatterred almanac hanging from a leather throng on the wall behind her, the cover page reading "Almanac 1886”. The painting is signed in the lower left corner in his distinctive script "Harry Roseland...
