American Carleton Wiggins Impressionist Barbizon Landscape Painting Sheep

Description: JOHN CARLETON WIGGINS American, 1848-1932 "Sheep in a Landscape" Oil on artist's panel | signed lower left "Carleton Wiggins" | titled and signed to the reverse of the panel "Sheep Landscape" / "Carleton Wiggins" / "1151 Broadway, NY" | executed circa 1901-1908 Item # 405PPG20A A lovely Barbizon painting of a flock of sheep grazing in the autumn grasses as evening approaches, the pink hues of golden hour only just appearing over the treeline while a warm golden light is cast over the foreground. The work is executed with a vigorous brushwork that moves from a subtle impressionism in the sheep to a bleary bokeh as the depth of field increases, the distant trees becoming almost part of the dense atmosphere mixing together with the darkenining sky. The painting is signed in the lower left corner "CARLETON WIGGINS" in his typical hand while the reverse was titled by his hand on the artist panel. Measurements: 18" H x 21 1/4" W x 2" D [frame]; 12 5/8" H x 15 3/4" W [canvas] Condition Report: Very fine condition, ready to place. Professionally conserved: carefully cleaned, specks of loss inpainted, sealed in traditional dammar varnish. Under UV examination the speck touchups are visible as flares, perhaps 1-2% in unimportant spots. Paint in the sky is thin and some of the paint has oxidized due to having been painted without a gesso layer on the panel. Housed in an early giltwood frame with losses to the gilding and minor abrasions.
