c.1870s Oil on Canvas Painting of SCHOLARLY BOY IN A BARN (Untitled) Signed by Douglas Volk Listed American Artist (See Bio Below.) [ FEATURES AND DETAILS… ] Painting Size: 20″ x 16″ Frame Size: 27¾” x 23¾”Visible Art: 19½” x 15½” This lovely original antique oil on canvas portrait depicts a young scholar of 12-14 years old seated in a shadowy barn with a pitch fork sticking out of the deep hay. He has a wooden crate for a table and a large open book before him … perhaps a Bible. There are other books and papers on his table, as well as a bouquet of fresh flowers. There is an inviting view through the open barn door–what appears to be a tree, a shed, a meadow, and some mountains … with possibly a lake in the distance. But the boy has his back to it all as he meditates pensively on his studies.The painting is typical of the artist’s work, which generally features a single subject, often in a dark setting. (Please note that it is quite his typical dimly lit scene. My camera actually wants to give it more contrast than what it actually has, to the naked eye.) It is signed by Douglas Volk in the lower left, although the signature is difficult to make out because it is virtually black-on-black. Volk typically signed in very small lettering and seemed reluctant for the signature to stand out. So, on his darker paintings such as this one, it is quite hard to see. (Please check out the picture where I’ve included samples of his signature from other paintings.) The canvas also has “Painting by Douglas Volk” handwritten on the back, though even that inscription is faded with age. This work was almost certainly painted while Volk was studying abroad, as the canvas is still nailed to its original 19th-century European stretcher bars. On the other hand, he could have painted it back in the United States and simply mounted it to a stretcher frame that he had brought back from Europe.The frame was clearly added later, though it suits the painting beautifully. It is a fabulous hand-carved, gold-painted wooden frame, made in Mexico by “Chappel.” Their frames typically date to mid-century (1950s-1970s). I would place this one somewhere in the ’60s.Artist Bio (from Online Sources):Douglas VOLK (1856-1935) Birth place: Pittsfield, MA / Death place: Fryeburg, ME. / Addresses: NYC (from 1879)/Centre Lovell, ME Profession: Painter, teacher, lecturer, writer, illustrator Studied: St. Luke Acad., Rome, 1870; Paris, with Gérôme, 1873-78.

[ CONDITION… ] – Beautiful antique condition — from a non-smoking environment.- The painting is in excellent condition, with no noticeable craquelure. There are two very small dings in the vicinity of the crate/table, as pictured. – The vintage hand-carved frame is also in very nice condition. There is no flaking, since it’s not a plaster-on-wood job. It was originally painted gold, though the paint has been lost on some of the high spots due to time and cleaning. (See picture.) This painting is being sold as-is, and reasonably priced according to its value and condition. The above is my good-faith attempt to disclose all noteworthy issues. Keep in mind that vintage/antique items always show their age. (Don’t we all!?) It would be impossible to mention every tiny detail, so please expect that there will be something about this item (or lot) that’s not perfect and may need touch-up.Please be aware — as with ALL antique and vintage paintings, prints, and other framed items — that there is a potential (though unlikely) that the original paint on the frame may contain lead compounds, and (even MORE unlikely, though possible) asbestos-related materials. If this is a concern, one option is that you can apply a clear matte sealer so nobody comes in direct contact with the original paint on the frame.PLEASE SUPERSIZE ALL PHOTOS, AND ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING/BUYING.
