Vane (armorial bookplates); Lord Barnard of Raby Castle (book-label).

"Pink Dianthus in a Vase", exquisite floral still life, oil on canvas by Jane Peterson. It is signed in the lower left. Provenance: Acquired at Pier Show in NYC from Arie Vane Breene Fine Art. Jane Peterson is known for developing an individualistic style of bold color combinations. Her canvases that intermingle Fauvist and Impressionist tendencies with academic drawing rank among her finest canvases and works on paper. As a woman, her life was much more independent and adventurous than those of most of her contemporaries. Traveling and painting with Joaquin Sorolla, Louis Comfort Tiffany, John Singer Sargent, Childe Hassam and Maurice Prendergast, Peterson had an art entourage that was influential, powerful and impressive. She could paint with the best of the male painters and that impressed the art world.Overall size: 24 1/2 x 24 1/2 in.Sight size: 17 x 17 1/4 in.Please note that all sales are final. No refunds will be given under any circumstances.
