Victorian Hand Painted Porcelain Bisque Cherubic Baby in Window Figurine


 

Here is a rosy cheeked, beautiful, milk drinking baby if I ever saw one. 

Blue eyes and blonde curls. From baby central casting.
Ambiguous sex with the babe wearing a pink tasseled stocking cap but also a blue neckerchief. Very clever.
The chubby baby hangs from a shuttered window in a fence or gate shaped container.
It is approx 3 1/2" tall and 2" wide. 
A very pleasing figurine to add to your collection.
The number 72 is stamped in the center of the bottom. 
Above that 29C5 is stamped. Two painted marks that could be the artist's initials.
Very well made for the Victorian era. 
In very good condition. No chips, cracks or crazing. 
Some shelf wear and minor manufacturing flaws.
Please see all the photos to be sure this is to your liking.
Sold as seen. 
Thank you for looking.

Trio of Iconic Boston Scenes Swan Boats Newbury Shops Brownstones Signed Giclee




 

Wow, this has it all. Three iconic Bostonian views, nicely matted and framed,
titled "Boston" and pencil signed illegibly by the very talented artist. 
First, a summer scene of the beloved swan boats in the pubic gardens, then a print of 
brownstones with a cobbled walk and gas lights in the spring. Finally an evening scene of 
Newbury St. shops in a snowstorm.
This is the perfect assortment of scenes that would get even the most stodgiest Bostonian to smile.
It's sure to add a splash of color and archetypal interest wherever you place it.
Nice lightweight plexi frame. 

c 1930 BW Photo Park Street Boston Massachusetts Statehouse 223/1000



So much going on in this matted,framed, and numbered silver gelatin photo. 

Chilly Bostonians attend to their business in the heart of the city next to 

Boston Common, looking up towards the gold dome of the Massachusetts statehouse. 

Some businesses are still here but most are gone, with some not forgotten. Late 1920s early 1930s?

I am unsure of the significance of this image, but it looks like a press photo. 

It has been numbered 223/1000. 

I hope more information would be available on the back of the photographic image. 

8" x 10" image in a 14" x 17" (approx.) frame.

The frame is chippy and shabby but ready to hang.

Early Spring Mist Watercolor Listed Rockport Artist Domenic Demeri 1942 - 1994



Gorgeous watercolor painting by celebrated Rockport artist Dominic Demeri.

The landscape is evocative of mist created on the first warm day of spring as the warmth starts to melt the snow.

There is a fortress of solitude feel to this as well.

Just a lovely, serene image.

It measures approximately 20" x 24"

It has been beautifully framed but at some point the glass sustained some scrapes when being moved. 

The frame has some wear as well. These scratches are only seen at certain angles and the painting is ready to hang as is. It's such a nice painting it deserves a new frame or at least new glass and I have priced it accordingly. 

Please examine all the photos to make sure this is to your liking.

Sold as shown.

Cottagecore, coastal decor for sure.

From Rockport, Massachusetts, a renown seaside artist colony.

Original Mixed Media Donald Gotz Art STAND OF BIRCH Whimsical OOAK


 

Playful piece of art by Donald Gotz, a listed local artist known for his 

mixed media, marine and naturalist art.  

This New England fall landscape features a small stand of birch trees 

in an autumn field.

It's wonderful.

Not framed.

From the artist's estate.


Artist statement
"As an artist I look at what others consider mundane or 

uninviting - from the bow of a boat to the branch of a tree, from a

 few discarded objects to the play of shadows on rocks, to the reflections 

of a boat's hull against the ever moving water - and see an opportunity 

for a painting.

Nature and man's interactions with nature are the main theme of my work.
Be it the remains of old weathered wooden piers, driftwood, old man-made 

objects that have found their way into the environment, or just 

natural objects - trees, rocks, water. The work itself may represent 

man's intrusion into nature or natures own forces at work. 

The search for subject matter is never far away. It is as near 

as a lake, the seashore, the local walking trail, or the back yard. 

Each season brings new opportunities for new paintings.

My media of choice is acrylic, because it allows me to choose to 

work as in oil paint or a looser watercolor style or something in-between, all in 

one media." Donald Gotz.

Donald Gotz is an artist from Framingham, MA.
BFA in painting and illustration at Massachusetts College of Art and Design.
Also studied at The Museum School of Art (Boston) and School of Practical Art.
