Lot description

Lakeside landscape, 1868 Oil on canvas h. 9-1/2 w. 11-1/2 in. Signed and dated lower right, with gallery labels verso, frame of period overall: 17-1/2 x 19 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. [IN SITU ITEM] This item will not be on display in our saleroom during our preview period or during the sale. If you wish to view it in-person please make a request with the gallery.
