About the Item

This early 20th-century Italian oil painting on board is a striking still life, capturing the quiet aftermath of the hunt. A well-worn shotgun rests atop a blue fabric-draped platform, its presence complemented by a leather ammo belt lined with gleaming brass shells. Draped over the composition is a lifeless female mallard, her delicate plumage rendered with remarkable detail. The artist’s skillful use of light and shadow lends the scene a dramatic, almost cinematic quality. Framed in its original gilt and painted frame, the painting exudes history and craftsmanship. Adding to its intrigue, the reverse side of the board reveals an unfinished painting of two figures in a dining room, offering a rare glimpse into the artist’s process. Signed illegibly in the lower right corner, this piece is both a brooding homage to traditional hunting still lifes and a fascinating artifact of an artist’s evolving vision. A remarkable find for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Early 20th Century Southern American Folk Art Painting
Located in Chicago, IL
A captivating and intriguing early 20th century Southern American folk art panel, found in Mississippi, depicting a figure with what appears to be African tribal headgear, and wearing a white collared shirt with black suit jacket. The line work and attention to detail is extraordinary and mysterious, with the artist choosing to incorporate a natural knot in the board to form the mouth of the figure, and the left half of the drawing showing shading, but seemingly left unfinished. The frame is not terribly old, and is constructed from splatter-painted boards...
