Description:

Hamilton Hamilton (American, 1847-1928)

Mountain at Sunset. Signed or inscribed "Hamilton Hamilton N.A." l.l., identified and titled on labels on the stretcher and frame. Oil on canvas, 30 x 30 in., framed. Condition: Wax lined, retouch, prominent craquelure with scattered paint losses, mounting bubbles in the lining when viewed from reverse.

N.B. The subject of this landscape is thought to be Jenny Lake in Wyoming. The partial label on the frame implies that this painting was gifted to an unspecified place by the artist's daughters. Hamilton was the father of twin daughters, Helen and Marguerite, who appear as models in some of his works.
Estimate $4,000-6,000

Signature in black appears to have been written over an earlier signature in pen or similar, and the "N.A." was added at that time. The partial label on the back has a typographical error in the artist's first name, which appears as "Hamilln."

Framed dimensions 33 1/2 x 33 1/2 inches.
