PAIR OF PRIOR-HAMBLIN SCHOOL PORTRAITS OF A HUSBAND AND WIFE, oil on board, each a bust-length depiction, she with black gown and white collar, he with black tie and high white stock, subjects identified verso as Tobias Van Slyke (1806-1873) and Charlotte Van Slyke (1804-1858). Each housed under glass in a modern frame. Circa 1850. Each 14 1/2" x 10 1/4" object, 17 1/8" x 12 3/4" OA.
Catalogue Note: Tobias Van Slyke (1806-1873) married Charlotte Van Slyke (1804-1858) in Kinderhook, New York in 1829. The couple had one daughter, Margaret, in 1839. Tobias is recorded as a carpenter in the 1850 Census and the 1860 Census and appears to have remained in Kinderhook throughout his life. The present portraits are completely fresh to the market, having descended directly in the family of the sitters. Executed in William Matthew Prior's characteristic flat style, this pair of likenesses typify the artist's approach to less expensive portraiture, an approach designed to appeal to middle class customers. See lot 2375 in the present sale for a portrait by Prior of Margaret Van Slyke (1839-1917), the couple's daughter.
Each in good overall original condition with minor to moderate discoloration and a few areas of wear, he with minor areas of mold present verso. Frames with minor wear.
Descended directly in the family of the sitters.
