Lot description
Desktop Still Life Oil on canvas h. 9 w. 11 in. Signed and dated lower left: 'N.A. Brooks / N.Y. 1890', with old Berry-Hill Galleries label on verso, housed in original period frame overall: 16 x 18-1/2 in. (frame) N.b. Considerable mystery surrounds the name Nicholas Alden Brooks. Other than having been active in New York City between 1880 and 1904, very little is known about the artist. There are no records of any art societies showing him as a member or his having participated in any exhibits. The name Brooks, in fact, could possibly be a pseudonym for Robert Fullington, whose name appears on theatrical memorabilia in Brooks's trompe loeil still-life paintings.
