Lot description
A Young Midshipman Reading Travel Books, seated in a rich interior with a mountain harbor in a distant view out of a doorway, in the original giltwood frame, OS: 35" x 30", SS: 29 1/2" x 24 1/2". Cleaned and relined. Label verso from the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian in Washington DC, for their exhibition "The Works of Henry Inman", April 3-August 2, 1987, loaned from the James Racu Collection. Also was lent to the Brooklyn Museum in 1969. James H Ricau (1916-1993), was a film editor for LIFE magazine, who would have liked to have been a sculptor. Instead he began acquiring marble sculptures in the 1950s. He ultimately had the largest collection of marble sculpture in the United States.
