This fantastic 1856 drawing was exceptionally well-rendered by an artist with a good degree of technical skill. The paper was probably much lighter, but has darkened with exposure to light. It has a signature near the easily read date of 1856. The 140 year old drawing was found between two sheets of waxed protective paper and had been well protected from the elements. It was signed in the lower left corner above the date 1856. An art appraiser, Irwin Pickett, who works from his home in Versailles, KY, could not decipher the signature with any certainty. This certified appraiser from the American Society of Appraisers, found that his sizeable reference book on Kentucky portrait artists of the 19th century did not shed light on the identity of the artist. He wondered if the artist might have been a traveling artist, or the drawing could have come from another state or country. This exceptionally well-done drawing was found in Kentucky as part of an auction from an estate sale. If you enjoy fine art from the early US history, don't let this document get away !
