# 7115. An oil on canvas by Helena Sturtevant (unsigned). Sturtevant ( 1872-1946 ) was among the most significant landscape and marine themed painters to emerge from the state of Rhode Island during her lifetime, and remains best know for her light-filled paintings of the historic buildings and scenic coastal location of her native Newport. Her dramatic, Impressionist-oriented styling of the sky and clouds dominate the background of much of her work, whose location subject-matter extends well beyond New England to Paris and the Caribbean, where she executed several of her most highly-regarded paintings. This painting depicts a young lad shucking corn in the Fall. Sturtevant painted several similar themed subjects. Size of frame is 24" x 28", the stretcher is 20" x 24". Notations on the stretcher included "R. Williams 4/15 H. Sturtevant" and a rubber stamp: "H. (Henry) R. Finn, 1050 East Main Road, Portsmouth, RI 02871" This painting was probably cleaned by Henry Finn. There is a large collection of paintings by Sturtevant in Newport City Hall and Henry Finn was commissioned a number of years ago to restore the collection. Inquiries welcome.
