Mother and Child, Kashmir
|
ca 1930's.
Original oil on canvas painting of a mother and child with lotus plants and flowers blooming behind, Dal Lake and its surrounding mountains rising in the background. In its original frame.
Bartlett traveled to Kashmir in 1913 as part of his 18-month trip around the world which brought him ultimately to live in Hawaii. Filling his sketchbooks and journals with observations and notes of his travels, these were the basis for later paintings such as this one which were realized after he and his wife Kate settled down in Honolulu.
Bartlett tragically lost his first wife during childbirth and his child soon after. The mother and child subject was a compelling and deeply personal theme which he painted throughout his career, in numerous forms and in virtually every culture he encountered.
Detailed condition report: Painting has been conserved by a professional and back of canvas relined. Natural grazing and crackling of the oil paints has been stabilized and in excellent condition. The deep, rich colors are difficult to replicate in digital form and are far more beautiful in person.
Provenance:
Of impeccable provenance, to be disclosed at time of sale.
