CHARLES LORING ELLIOTT (AMERICAN 1812 - 1868) PORTRAIT OF MATTHEW BRADY (1822 - 1896).
Est: $4,000 - $12,000
Born in New York, Charles Loring Elliott became one of the leading mid-19th century portrait painters, known for strong, un-embellished work that focused on the personality and character of the sitter. As a young man he went to New York City to study with portraitists John Quidor and John Trumbull. In 1839, he opened a studio in New York and achieved immediate acceptance, painting portraits of important persons in the political, academic, literary, and fine art worlds. His subjects included William Cullen Bryant, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Cyrus McCormick, and James Fenimore Cooper. Major influences on his work during this period were portraitist Henry Inman whom he met in 1844 and also the new art of photography whose realism he strove to depict in his portraits. Elliott's portrait of Mathew Brady shows him in a buffalo robe gazing intently at the artist, his strong face ringed by a curly mane of hair. This portrait is illustrated in: Mathew Brady, Historian with a Camera by James Horan (Crown Publishers, 1955; p. 93). This lot is of serious interest: Brady was one of the very first American photographers, best known for his scenes of the Civil War. Elliott, who lived and worked in New York his entire life, was widely considered the best portrait artist of his time. Another portrait of Brady by Elliott is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Provenance: From the collection of G.W. Mayer. Scratches and repairs, especially to bottom right of painting and Brady's lapel. Other areas of scattered inpainting. Artist: CHARLES LORING ELLIOTT (AMERICAN 1812 - 1868). Condition: Good. Created: Circa 1857. Frame: Reproduction frame. Medium: Oil on canvas. Signature: Signed lower right. Title: PORTRAIT OF MATTHEW BRADY (1822 - 1896). Work Size: 24.5" x 20.5" Condition: Dimensions: Frame: 31" x 26 - 3/4". CORRECTION: Further research has indicated this is not Matthew Brady.

Est: $1,000 - $1,500
FROM THE ESTATE OF KENNETH KENDALL, LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA CHARLES LORING ELLIOTT (American, 1812-1868) Portrait of Dr. James R. Chilton, circa 1850 oil on canvas 36 x 29 inches (91.4 x 73.7 cm) This lot is accompanied by a typewritten letter written about the portrait by the son of the sitter, together with a handwritten envelope. The letter reads, in part: "His [Elliott's] portrait of my father Dr. James R. Chilton, was painted about 1850 and is considered to be both an excellent likeness and a thoroughly characteristic example of Elliott's work. "Besides his scholastic education in medicine and chemistry, my father had the exceptional advantage of personal instruction from his own father, George Chilton, one of our Scientific pioneers, who came to New York City in 18701 from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where he was born in 1768. George was on very friendly terms with Professor Benjamin Silliman in Yale College and founder of the American Journal of Sciences, and when the latter made a trip to Europe about 1825 George Chilton took charge of his chemical lectures. "My father, born in New York City, November 9, 1808, graduated from the medical college early in the thirties and practiced medicine in New York for several years, notably during the first cholera epidemic of 1833, but he soon abandoned the profession of physician, devoting himself exclusively to industrial chemistry and toxicological tests in poisoning cases. "In the summer of 1859, when a peculiar vegetable growth in the Eastern water, imparting an unpleasant taste to the water aroused much alarm in the city and led to an appointment of a commission charged with the expert examination of the water, Dr. Chilton was chosen one of the commissioners. The verdict was that this growth, while causing an unpleasant flavor was not in any degree harmful to the public health. Not long since there was a recurrence of the phenomena. "Dr. Chilton died at Yonkers, July 25, 1863, and in the period before the Civil War he was one of the best known and important citizens of New York City. His remains repose in Greenwood Cemetery beneath a granite shaft in which is inserted a marble medallion relief by the sculptor Ellis, who executed the monument to Elias Howe, inventor of the sewing machine. "During the War of 1812, George Chilton was intrusted [sic] with the management of a powder-mill at Westfield, N. J., where he was able to make his knowledge of chemistry a helpful feature in the cause of the United States. He was also an innovator in the education of women, having delivered courses of chemical lectures especially for women about 1820."
