Lot description

Watercolor still life of flowers by noted artist Emma Lampert Cooper (American, 1855 - 1920). This painting, executed before the artist's marriage and under her maiden name of Emma E. Lampert, shows a group of yellow flowers in a bowl sitting on a table. The bowl and flowers are reflected in some water in the foreground. Lampert Cooper's handling of the difficult medium of watercolor to make an engaging and convincing image is impressive, and even more so for the masterful creation of the reflected image in the water. It is easy to see why Lampert Cooper was regarded as a master in her own time. Signed in upper left, "Emma E. Lampert". Framed and matted, not examined outside of frame. Frame is period, late 19th century in the Aesthetic style with gallery label for E.D. Buckingham of Utica, NY. Condition: good condition, minor aging of painting. Some discoloration on matting and some aging, minor chipping on frame. 15 1/2" wide by 10 3/4" tall (opening in matte). 26" wide by 21 1/2" tall by 2 1/8" deep (framed). Keywords: fancy, art, paint, Victorian, water color, wall, decor, decoration, floral, flower, Emma Esther Lampert
