Farm Scene (Boy Chasing a Goose)
Lithograph, 1858, Bruhn 36, edition unknown. 6 x 7 1/4 in. Signed and dated on the stone, lower left corner. This is a fine impression printed on chine appliqué. The condition is good apart from staining in the margins mostly on the left side and below, not affecting the image. Hunt studied in Europe in 1843 and returned to Newport, RI where he made his home. It was in Newport where he created six of his seven lithographs, including this one. The set of six lithographs was published in 1859 by Phillips & Sampson of Boston. The Bruhn reference above is from the "The American Print: Originality and Experimentation 1790-1890," published by the William Benton Museum of Art, 1993.
