Portrait of a Lady 1770 Oil on Canvas: French H=26" W=22"
"Antoine Vestier" 1740-1824 Peter Clapham Sheppard Oil on Board "Dry Dock Toronto" ...SOLD As noted in a Globe and Mail article of October 31, 2018 by Gregory Humeniuk: "Like many artists of his time, painter Peter Clapham Sheppard captured the pulse of the modern city of the 1910's to the 1930s with unique views of Montreal, New York and especially Toronto. Humane, not glamorous, they ennoble the commonplace His thoughtful compositions, inventive choice of colours and incisive use of paint are more stirring than those of most of his peers. And yet, being a contemporary of the Group of Seven might have been Sheppard's worst piece of luck. He died in near obscurity in 1965. " |
