A beautifully painted American miniature portrait on ivory, signed W.S. Herman. The painting depicts his attractive wife, who is sitting in a garden, on a stone bench, backed by impressionistic foliage. She is clothed in a beautiful dress with lace and blue-green trimmings. William S. Herman lived and worked in Flushing, and Great Neck, New York. Although he concentrated on full size landscapes and portraits, many on a commission basis, he also did portraits in the miniature format. These were, in fact, some of his best renderings. Although not a listed artist, he was well-known and highly respected in western Long Island. The sight size of the painting shown here is 4 3/8 inches tall and 3 3/8 inches wide. The original bronze frame is 4 7/8 inches by 3 7/8 inches. Condition of the painting and the frame is excellent, with no repairs or problems. Note: This painting was acquired from a direct descendant of the artist, along with miniature portraits of 4 other family members, which will shortly be listed. |
