Walter MacEwen (1860-1943) The Necklace, c.1910
Est: $100 - $150
Etching, signed lower right. 6" x 4" Born in Chicago, MacEwen traveled to Europe to study art, first in Munich with Frank Duveneck, then in Paris with Corman and Robert-Fleury. He stayed in Europe for many years with studios in both Paris and Holland, where he was also a founding member of the Egmond Artist Colony. Primarily a painter, MacEwen was known for his impressionistic portraits and genre scenes which were quite well received in both Europe and America. His etchings, which are quite scarce, are developed in a very painterly style, reflecting the delicate use of light and shadow of his paintings.

LITERATURE: H. K. McCullough, "Picturing Holland: The Case of Walter MacEwen," Dutch Utopia: American Artists in Holland, 1880-1914, exhibition catalogue, Telfair Museum of Art, Savannah, Georgia, 2009, p. 74, fig. 39, illustrated. Walter MacEwen achieved artistic success on both sides of the Atlantic painting Dutch subjects that became his particular specialty. His gift for mood and portraiture resonate in works such as The Old Guard of the House of Orange, a fine, mature example of his work as a Dutch history painter. As scholar Holly Koons McCullough has noted, the present work belongs to a series MacEwen produced in the 1890s, which also included a monumental canvas depicting William and Mary that was tragically destroyed by fire. To date, this sensitive portrayal of a man who has grown old in his line of duty, bearing the Orange standard, is the only work from this ambitious narrative series by MacEwen that can be traced.

Evans) Sale, Parke Bernet Galleries, Inc., New York, Apr. 17 and 18, 1964, lot 257 Acquired from the above by the artist's niece Thence by descent to the present owner Exhibited: Washington, D.C., Federal Reserve Building, 1995-2007 Literature: The American House Around 1910, Laura Robinson (later Laura Robinson Evans) commissioned Walter MacEwen to paint two large decorative compositions to embellish her new home, Northway, in Greenwich, Connecticut. The grand residence won awards for architectural accuracy and was featured in The American House, a contemporary design publication. Intended for the dining room, the works were painted in a rococo style, in keeping with the architecture of the residence, which was modeled after the Petit Trianon at Versailles. Walter MacEwen was the logical choice for such a commission. Miss Robinson's two elder sisters were married to the artist's brothers, Paul and Alfred. One of the most highly decorated American painters of the late nineteenth century, MacEwen produced works in various genres and styles, but was best known for his charming depictions of rural Dutch life. A Chicago native, he had studied at the Munich Academy and at the Academie Julian in Paris, where he became a regular exhibitor in the annual salon shows. He ultimately established Paris as his primary residence, remaining there until 1940, when the war forced him to return to America. The present works depict fetes galantes, with elegantly attired figures frolicking in a pastoral setting. MacEwen chose to include his patroness in one of the paintings. Garbed in pink, Miss Robinson appears in the right foreground, playing a lute as a handsome young courtier sits nearby. The work of Walter MacEwen is featured in two exhibitions currently on view at the Telfair Museum of Art, Savannah: Walter MacEwen: An American Expatriate Revisited and Dutch Utopia: American Artists in Holland, 1880-1914. The latter exhibition will travel to the Taft Museum, Cincinnati; the Grand Rapids Art Museum, Michigan; and the Singer Laren Museum in the Netherlands.
