Description
Item: LISTED George Lambdin Still Life of Roses Large Old Antique Oil Painting
Artist: George Lambdin (1830 - 1896)
Provenance: Arthur Ackermann (based on a label on the back of the frame) and Clar's Auction. It should be noted that Arthur Ackermann was an important dealer and collector.
Signed: Yes, on the lower right and dated "82" (1882).
Medium: Oil on wood panel.
Painting's size: 29" by 13.75 "
Framed: Yes. The 1.8" wide and 1" deep wood frame measures 32" by 16.75". It has some nicks, chips and scratches. Overall, the frame is in good condition. It is an old frame, but doesn't appear to be as old as the painting and it has a hideous stain on it that makes it look new. I think the painting would look MUCH better if it it was in an ornate or semi-ornate period frame.
Painting's Condition: Some light surface scratches and spots of inexpertly done painting. Please enlarge the digital images to see the extent of this damage. Otherwise, good, overall condition.
Ultraviolet Light Test: About 2%-3% inpainting. Lambdin's signature and date are original to the painting and they do not fluoresce under an ultraviolet light.
Special Shipping: Yes. Due to it's value and importance, it will be securely packed and shipped.

These are only a few, of many important collections, that permanently house this famous listed artist's work!
Lambdin was an American Victorian artist, best known for his floral paintings, especially roses from his own garden. Lambdin created this painting in 1882. His deft brushwork, rich color palette and masterful control of light captures the beauty and elegance of a group of carefully arranged roses. Arguably, this is one of his finest paintings of roses to be offered for public sale within the past 30 years!
BIOGRAPHY:
George Lambdin (1830 - 1896)
"George Cochran Lambdin remains most known for his skill with floral paintings, especially roses from his own garden. However, during his lifetime, he was recognized for his sentimental genre subjects of which one of his most famous was The Dead Wife, completed in 1860. Its popularity, with the bereaved husband holding the hand of his dead wife, received special recognition when it was exhibited in the 1867 Exposition Universelle in Paris*. Other genre subjects were from the American Civil War, resulting from his travels with the Union Army.
Lambkin also painted many portraits of Philadelphia women, usually accompanied by roses whose hues matched the complexion of the subject.
Lambdin was born in 1830 in Pittsburgh, the son of James Reid Lambdin, a successful portraitist from whom he received his early artistic training. In 1838, when he was eight, he moved with his family to the Germantown area of Philadelphia, and in 1848, he began exhibiting at the Pennsylvania Academy*. At his family's home when he was a young man, he began the cultivation of flowers that subsequently influenced his oil paintings and resulted in images which Louis Prang and Company of Boston converted into chromolithographs*.
Germantown remained his primary home place, but Lambdin spent some years away, studying in Munich and Paris in 1855, Rome in 1870, and in the late 1860s living in New York City where he had space in the Tenth Street Studio Building*.
From the 1850 through the 1880s, George Lambdin exhibited at the National Academy of Design*, and in 1868, he was elected to membership.
Plagued by ill health, he quit painting in 1887, and he died in 1896.
