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)
