Harry Roseland Figurative Paintings
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.
