Thomas Buford Meteyard, American 1865-1928- Portrait de lui-meme travaillant; oil on canvas, inscribed 'Meteyard' in pencil verso, bears stamp for 'Paul Foinet' verso, 41 x 32.7 cm. Provenance: with The Redfern Gallery, London; where purchased by Mrs Lees-Milne on 7 December 1954; thence by descent to the present owners. Note: Meteyard was a member of a group of artists who are often called the 'Scituate Artist Colony', active from the 1890s to the 1910s. He travelled to Europe in the 1880s, visiting London and Paris, where he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts under Léon Bonnat (1833-1922) and Puvis de Chavannes (1824-1898). Meteyard was clearly heavily influenced by the works of Impressionist painters which he encountered on his travels. Indeed, the present work, like much of his oeuvre, displays a strong debt to Claude Monet (1840-1926), which may well have been informed by his visit to Giverny with his fellow American artists in the summer of 1890.
