AMERICAN SCHOOL (19TH CENTURY) STILL-LIFE WITH BIBLE, oil on canvas, probably after Emma Homan Thayer (1842-1908), the open page inscribed in part "the Court at KENSINGTON / 1696", flanked by a pair of spectacles, a needlework pocketbook, and a saucer-base candlestick, signed and dated "E. Howman Thayer / 1890" lower right. Housed in likely original gilt frame with molded-composition ornament, bearing artist's plaque with title "THE ANCIENT BIBLE". Dated 1890. 15 1/2" x 23 1/2" sight, 28" x 35 3/4" OA.
Catalogue Note: Emma Homan Thayer (1842-1908) was born in New York City to George Wand and Emma Homan. Her father was a businessman who operated omnibuses, large horse-drawn carriages that were some of the earliest forms of urban public transportation in the country. Business must have been good, as George commissioned a full-length portrait of his two-year-old daughter in 1844 from itinerant artist, John Bradley, who was traveling near the family's home on Long Island. Currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (acc. no. 66.242.23), Bradley's likeness of young Emma Homan is an iconic example of 19th-century American folk portraiture. In 1857, the family moved to Omaha, Nebraska, and in 1860, an 18-year-old Emma married George A. Graves, who dies four years later. Widowed with two infant children, Emma went back to school at Rutgers Female College, as well as the National Academy of Design, and began to establish herself as a professional artist. In 1877, she married George A. Thayer, who was involved in the hotel business along the Denver and the Rio Grande railroad lines. After a short stay in Chicago, the couple moved to Colorado, and the artist began to shift her artistic focus to botanical painting, which culminated in an 1885 book on Colorado wildflowers.
