GEORGE VAN MILLETT (1864-1953) OIL ON CANVAS
Est: $2,000 - $4,000
George Van Millett (Missouri, Kansas, 1864-1953) A Moment to Herself 1898 While known primarily as a landscape artist, George 'Van' Millet was known to paint the occasional genre scene. For many of these, the artist includes the word 'moment' in the title. This makes sense as G. V. Millet chose subjects for these genre and interior scenes that were very evocative of a moment, or a mood, which he was skilled at capturing on canvas. Here a young woman in a hoop back chair sits in a small kitchen by an open window with a mixing bowl on its ledge above a dry sink with utensils, her sewing basket on a Windsor stool in front of her and a broom and bucket behind her. All of these she'll work with later, but for now, as the title says, she has a moment to herself lost in thought, and some needlework. The painting is signed and dated lower right front. The title is A Moment to Herself. Canvas measures 21.25 x 6.25 with a framed size of 26.25 x 21.25 inches.
