Robert Burns Wilson pastel - Kentucky
Est: -
Robert Burns Wilson pastel - Kentucky Pastel on paper of a creek scene in a wooded area at dawn or dusk. Signed to viewer's lower right in red, "Robert Burns Wilson". Nice clean image free of toning which is too often found on his works. This, a deaccession from "Ashland". Too late to have belonged to Henry Clay, possibly left by a descendant. Excellent condition in what is probably the original oak lightly gilded frame, a frame preference of the artist. Probably a Bluegrass scene painted within the last quarter of the 19th century. 9 3/8" x 13 ½" framed to 22 ½" x 26 ½".

Robert Burns Wilson KY Landscape Watercolor
Est: $300 - $400
Robert Burns Wilson (American, primarily Kentucky, 1851-1916) landscape watercolor on paper depicting a springtime river scene with verdant river banks and budding trees foreground with a white cottage on the opposite side of the river background. Signed lower left with presentation inscription lower right reading "For Pauline Dikeman". Housed in a molded gilt wood frame. Sight: 15" H x 21 7/8" W. Framed: 20 1/4" H x 27" W. Artist biography (source: Askart): Robert Burns Wilson may be best known as author of the patriotic poem, Remember The Maine, which became the battle song for the United States during the Spanish American War. But he was primarily a painter. Orphaned at a young age, he spent his childhood in Virginia and West Virginia. As a young man he traveled briefly with a circus and, for a short time, maintained a studio with John White Alexander, a prominent American artist known for his work in the Art Nouveau style. In 1871, he moved to Union City, Kentucky, but a few years later, in 1875, he moved to Frankfort for the opportunity to paint portrait commissions and stayed approximately thirty years. In 1904, he moved to New York City. Wilson preferred to work in watercolor, oil, pastel and charcoal. He is best known for his depictions of animals and, beginning in the early 1880s, his landscapes.
