Edward Henry Potthast (Am.), Pastoral Scene
A substantial and impressive pastoral scene by Edward Henry Potthast (American, 1857-1927). Featuring nine sheep grazing in the country with a large pile of hay on the left portion of the painting. An expansive landscape continues into the background with a faint mountain range in the distance. Executed in Potthast's well-known impressionist style and signed "E. Potthast" in the lower right. A tag on verso shows that the piece was exhibited in the Panorama of Cincinnati Art XII at the Cincinnati Art Galleries.
Edward Henry Potthast was an American Impressionist known for his paintings of bathers at leisure in sun-filled beach scenes. He studied at the McMicken School of Design as a youth under Thomas Satterwhite Noble and worked briefly at the famed Strobridge Lithograph Company.
