About the Item
Signed lower right, 'D. Styles' for Darwin Styles (American, 1827-1909) and dated 1885.
Portrait, animal, and landscape painter, Darwin Styles, was, by 1846, living and working in a small artist colony in New York City which included George H. Boughton (1833-1905), Charles Elliott (1812-1868), William Hart (1823-1894), George Inness (1825-1894), Eastman Johnson (1824-1906), and Sanford Thayer (1820-1880). Styles exhibited widely and with success including at National Academy of Art & Design (1848-1849, 1851-1852), The Royal Academy of Art (London, 1845), The Oswego Falls Fair (Fulton, NY, 1885), Central New York Society of Artists (Syracuse, NY, 1905), among others. He apparently hated publicity, and was known to have avoided exhibited his works publicly when possible. By the early 1860s, he decided that he preferred the unspoiled countryside to city life, so he traveled upstate, where he eventually settled in the small village of Fulton, Oswego County, New York.
One publication noted: "His independence and individuality have perhaps been the greatest barriers to the progress of his fame for he has only painted when the spirit has moved [him]..." Another remarked: "Modest and retiring by nature, he has always been more averse than his friends have wished, to exhibiting the works of his brush..." His lack of interest in the "... commercial instincts and motives..." of the art world also hurt his ability to become better known.
In 1902, just a few years before his death, an old friend said of him: "He is a gentleman of the old school and if ever there was a courtier at heart then indeed it is Darwin Styles. He is an artist from the top of his head to the soles of his feet and he is imbued with an artistic temperament which is expressed in everything he paints. He is a poet of nature."

'Bixby Bridge, Big Surreal #1', Santa Cruz, Big Sur, California Hwy 1, Carmel
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Signed, verso, 'David R. A. Watson' (American, born 1950), titled, 'Bixby Bridge, Big Surreal #1' and painted in 2023.
Artist Statement:
" 'El Grande Sur' of the early Mexican settlers could only be penetrated by pack horse until the WPA pushed through the Pacific Coast Highway in 1935. The engineering wonder of the Bixby bridge is a focal point of public amazement drawing hundreds of weekend sightseers. Popular movie lore of this bridge will secure its future as an eternal monument. Yet in truth it is not only a bridge but a stunning entrance toward the Big Sur coast which lies beyond. Thus, the iconic Neo-Classical sculpture...

Fishing Camp on the Labrador Coast
By William Bradford
Located in New York, NY
In 1852, twenty-nine year old William Bradford was a failing shopkeeper in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. With a wife and child at home, Bradford, by his own admission, “spent too much time in painting to succeed” in business. Rescued from insolvency by his well-to-do in-laws, this is not the beginning of a narrative that generally leads to a happy ending. Not so with Bradford, who ultimately found international fame and fortune as a painter of arctic seascapes and dramatic marine paintings.
William Bradford, the artist, was a lineal descendant of the 17th-century Separatist leader William Bradford, a founder of the Plymouth Plantation, signer of the Mayflower Compact and Governor of the Plymouth Colony. Our Bradford born to a New Bedford ship outfitter in Fairhaven, Massachusetts By the nineteenth century, this line of Bradfords were Quakers, living on the tract purchased nearly two centuries earlier by their pilgrim ancestor. Fairhaven, across the mouth of the Acushnet River from the whaling center of New Bedford was described by a New York journalist in 1857 as “the Brooklyn of New Bedford” (Home Journal, January 3, 1857). Young Bradford displayed an early predilection for the arts, but his Quaker parents were disinclined to support this particular pursuit. After working in his father’s business and then for a dry goods merchant in New Bedford, by 1849 Bradford had set up in New Bedford as a “merchant tailor” offering outfits for “those going to California,” “seamen’s clothing,” custom-tailored “piece goods...
