Description: We are offering A wonderful Folk Art Portrait Oil Paintingin the early 19th c Folk Art portrait style many of these portraits were painted by traveling portrait paintersand they were never signed by the artist. The artists worked principally in the Northeast, away from urban centers; most spent their careers moving from place to place courting local audiences. Quite a few were highly trained ornamental painters. Almost all of them favored strong colors, broad and direct application of paint, patterned surfaces, generalized light, skewed scale and proportion, and conspicuous modeling. Most developed compositional formulas that allowed them to work quickly, with limited materials and in makeshift studios. Some of the most well known primitive portraits were executed by members of what has become known as the Prior-Hamblen School, which consisted of William Matthew Prior (1806–1873), Sturtevant Hamblen (active 1837–1856), George Hartwell (1815–1901), and others who painted in a similar manner.
