Winslower Homers ... children playing horse & wagon
I searched internet for hours and hours, and there is nothing by Homer that shows children playing horse & wagon yet I have that picture framed and hanging on my wall. The picture is full of energy and the frame looks like American Empire frame from 18/19th century. See here frame 53. American Empire frame It is wooden and have a golden line near the glass. The frame measures 23 x 14.5 inches and picture inside is approximately 19 x 10.5 inches. The picture looks almost like a version of "Snap the Whip" but it has a different theme. According to research that I did on my own, these group children pictures were produced by 1880 more precisely between 1871 and 1879. After this, no more children in group pictures were produced apparently ( yet I have a picture that is nowhere mentioned or shown ). There are apparently 2 versions of "Snap the Whip" and I hoped that my picture is one of the versions, because children are dressed the same way... and you can simply see that pictures are likely done by the same artist, however neither actual version show a wagon and playing children around it. The picture is covered with brown paper on the back and it appears tightly pressed ( good quality ) and it looks like that nobody really tried to opened it. It is in excellent condition. I wonder if anyone knows anything about this picture and especially why I cant find anything about it? I want to know what is the name of it? I find it strange that there is nothing on internet like this. Anyone can help? Thanks.

Winslow Homer Pen drawing?
I have what appears to be an ink drawing 8" x 8".

It is a picture of a boat with a tattered sail out at sea with a uniformed guy at the stern steering the rudder and a guy in a cap with a pipe relaxing.

At the bottom left of the picture is written VII and at the bottom right of the picture there is a very small logo but I can't make out what it is. The back of the drawing is signed Winslow Homer.

Can anyone provide me with information on this?

Cheers!

Winslow Homer
1903 Homer Watercolor:
I purchased a signed water color signed in the left hand corner that says "Sketch from Water," signed and dated Dec. 22 1903 Homer. On the back it is from The Art Institute of Chicatgo, Chicago , titled "Stowing The Sail, Bahama. - I also noticed someone purchase the same in 2007 - it looks authentic - I did find this on line from the Art Institute - it does not say anything about print or reproduction. How can I know it's true authenticity?

Thank you,
Joyce Osborn

winslow homer
Hello, My husband purchased a large framed painting, a print reproduction I beleive -on a type of heavy cardboard which is framed, the back of the whole picture covering on an old manilla type paper has a no. 6771a and it says vogue styled by reliable MFG CO union N.J. the nations wall decor pacesetter. The year next to his signature appears to be 1871. I have tried looking for this original painting just to see what it is called and I can't find it. The closest one is "noon recess" because it is similar and depicts a classroom with a teacher and students. Any advice?
Thanks.

winslow homer print?
i just bought a winslow homer picture at a thrift store. it is signed on lower right. I just wish I could figure out if it is a water color or print. It shows two teenage boys sitting in the middle of a field. it is dirty, but I don't know how to clean it,or if I should. Could you tell me how to tell if it is watercolor, it is on a hard board, I have heard that you lay down water color paper on some kind of hard surface. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Key West pencil drawings
I once lived in Tarpon Springs, fl. in a old 'fisherman's shack'. On the wall were two pencil drawings of fishing ships tied up on a dock in Key West. the prints were signed: Winslow Homer. I just often wondered where they came from and if they were mass produced or not. My friends told me the shack burned down a few years after I left. Anybody have any info about the prints? Thanks

Homer's 1870's work
"Winslow Homer and the Critics"--an exhibit now on tour--treats the fierce criticism under which he fell during the 1870's. Although now difficult to believe anyone could criticize a Homer, many crtics did for his loose and long brushwork, as he built his pictures with color and not by the more widely accepted detailed draughtsmanship--draughtsmanship for which he became known during his work during the Civil War.

I hope those who have seen the show will post their reflections on the subject.

gathering berries,1870
I have a kind of board engraving or etching of Winslow Homers Gathering Berries. This is signed by or engraved by Lagardi (its hard to read) The picture is opposite to the painting so I think it was used in Harpers Weekly as away to print picture in magazine or newspaper. It has brown ink in the cruves and on the back. I really want to know what exactly I have or where to find out about what I have. Thank you.

Bill Gates and Winslow Homer
On May 5, 1998 CNN,Reuters, the NY Times, and the AP Press posted the story of Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and his payment of a record $30 million for the last major seascape by Winslow Homer "Lost on the Grand Banks."


Gates purchased the painting -- 32 inches tall and 50 inches wide -- at supposed "private" sale.

The oil painting is dated 1885 and depicts two fishermen in peering over the side of their boat in a stormy sea.

John Spoor Broome, a businessman from Southern California, was described as the seller who had bought the painting from his grandmother in the 1940s.

This is the highest price ever paid for an American painting!
