Another 2014 highlight was the acquisition and sale of this nice painting by Ernest Frederick Meyer. It is titled "Young White Birch Tree Grove". It was 20 x 16 and retained its original frame.
A nice surprise was a delightful title, small sketch and inscription verso. Painted near William Gillette Castle (Hartford, Connecticut).
From Schwarz Gallery in Philadelphia is this bio:
Ernest Frederick Meyer studied painting in New York City with James Carroll Beckwith, Frank Vincent Dumond, John Henry Twachtman and with William Merritt Chase at the latters Tenth Street studio. One of his classmates there was Reynolds Beal who painted Meyers portrait. However, it was Chases instruction in landscape painting at the Shinnecock Summer School of Art on Long Island that gave Meyer his start as a painter of landscapes, for which he became known. Best know today are his views of the Connecticut countryside. He exhibited at the National Academy of Design and the Boston Art Club. He was a member of the Connecticut Academy of Fine Arts and the Salmagundi Club.
We found the painting in northwestern Iowa and placed it with a collector near Dallas. We are always interested in buying paintings of this quality.
