VERY FINE PRIOR-HAMBLIN SCHOOL FOLK ART PORTRAIT OF A BOY, oil on board, waist-length depiction of a brown-haired boy dressed in a plaid shirt with black bow tie holding a whittling knife and a piece of wood. Chalk inscription verso appears to read "Glad". Housed in a 20th century molded wood frame. Probably William Matthew Prior (Maine/Massachusetts, 1806-1873). Circa 1840. 16 1/4" x 12 1/8" sight, 20" x 15 3/4" OA.
Catalogue Note: William Matthew Prior (1806-1873) and Sturtevant Hamblin (1817-1884) were both born in Maine, and both were associated with painting at a young age. Hamblin grew up in a family of painters and glaziers and began working with his father and brothers early on, and Prior is known to have been painting professionally by the age of eighteen. In 1828, when the older Prior married the younger Sturtevant's sister, Rosamond, the two men began a personal and professional association that would last for decades and lead to some degree of success for both. Around 1840, the Prior's moved to Boston, and Hamblin followed shortly thereafter. In Boston the duo operated a garret-type portrait painting operation, and works identified with the studio are often attributed to the "Prior-Hamblin School" as it is difficult to distinguish one artist's hand from the other. Prior-Hamblin School portraits of children are highly prized, and several are recognized as American folk art masterpieces.
Condition
Very good unrestored condition, scattered edge wear to paint surface, primarily due to rubbing from an earlier frame, scattered small tack holes in the outer edges also from earlier framing. Very minor edge tears. Scattered very minor loss and surface wear with minimal old inpainting.
