專家說明
We would like to thank Martha Hoppin for her assistance with cataloguing this lot.
J.G. Brown produced a number of paintings during his 1873 summer at Boiceville, New York in the Catskills. The New York Evening Post described one such work Some Pumpkins as representing "a boy in a pumpkin field, evidently making a selection for a jack-o-lantern." When Some Pumpkins appeared in the annual Artists' Fund Society exhibition in 1875, the subject was described as "an impudent youngster striking a triumphant attitude in the golden corn field." The present work, That's Me Pumpkin, is likely the painting to which these critics referred.
