Description
Nov. 3, 1905. Not matted; not mounted.. Very good.. A watercolor on grey paper meas. appx. 127 x 178 mm. Pencil note across the back: Burial at Sea / by H. Bacon / [Nice large?] painting / from this original / sketch is in one of / the museums I have / forgotten where [which?]. Initials HB appear on the lower front left corner; dated in the right front corner. Henry Bacon was an American artist who worked for the Frank Leslie Weekly as a Civil War illustrator. He was badly wounded at the Second Bull Run. He spent most of the rest of his life in Paris and after 1900 in Egypt during winters. This accomplished watercolor served as the preliminary sketch of a larger, unidentified work and is uncharacteristic of the French genre scenes he is known for.
