Charles R. Knight Original Watercolor
Giant Moas. Charles Robert Knight (1874-1953). Goauche and watercolor on paper. 10 x 16 1/2 inches visible, 22 x 29 inches framed. Guidance: Mid-Hudson Auction Galleries, September 23, 2017 - $18,300 (Stegasaurus and Certosaurus). Sometimes referred to as “The 18 Moas,” this painting beautifully features a group of 18 Moas in their native New Zealand landscape. Several times throughout the years, these ten foot tall, flightless birds were lovingly portrayed by Knight. Arguably this one, painted in 1939, is the best of them.
