John George Brown 1831-1913 Portrait of a Man Oil on canvas 25” x 30” John George Brown (November 11, 1831 – February 8, 1913) was a British citizen and an American painter born in Durham, England on November 11, 1831. His parents apprenticed him to the career of glass worker at the age of fourteen in an attempt to dissuade him from pursuing painting. He studied nights at the School of Design in Newcastle-on-Tyne while working as a glass cutter there between 1849 and 1852 and evenings at the Trustees Academy in Edinburgh while working at the Holyrood Glass Works between 1852 and 1853. After moving to New York City in 1853, he studied with Thomas Seir Cummings at the National Academy of Design where he was elected a National Academician in 1861. Brown was the Academy's vice-president from 1899 to 1904. Around 1855, he worked for the owner of the Brooklyn Glass Company, and later he married the daughter of his employer. His father-in-law encouraged his artistic abilities, supporting him financially, letting Brown pursue painting full-time. In 1866, he became one of the charter members of the Water-Color Society, of which he was president from 1887 to 1904. Brown became famous for his depictions of street urchins found on the streets of New York (bootblacks, street musicians, posy sellers, newsboys, etc.). @AC-NB

George Henry Durrie American, 1820-1863 “John Henry Hackett as Falstaff” Oil on Board PROVENANCE: By descent through the artist’s family Hally L. Durrie, Santa Barbara, the artist’s great grandson Terry DeLapp, Los Angeles Mrs. George Arden, New York LITERATURE M.Y. Hutson, Geroge Henry Durrie, 1820-1863, American Wiinter Landscapist: Renouwned throughCurrier & Ives, Santa Babra, p.55, no. 51, illus. Records and personal diaries indicate that Durrie read Shakespeare and was inspired to paint Falstaff. According to Martha Hudson, “Two portraits of Falstaff are known, both listed in the record book. The 1852 painting (this portrait) is thought to be a portrait of the actor James Hackett portraying Falstaff, a role he made famous in America. Since Hackett performed in New York City as well as on tour, Durrie could easily have seen a performance. Obviously the characterization was effective because the portrait is jovial and abundant in appearance as one could hope for a Falstaff.” 17” x 13 ½” (43 x 34.3 cm)
