Beautiful Historic Oil Painting by Famous 19th Century listed Tennessee artist George Dury (1817-1894) Oil on Canvas Painting depicts portrait of a dark haired lady holding a fan; The subject is identified in published literature as Pauline Giers, wife of Nashville photographer C. C. Giers, in costume ball attire Housed in a gilt frame with gold mat and oval shaped opening Dimensions: Sight – 28″ H x 22 1/4″ W; with frame – Large 40 1/2″ H x 35 1/4″ W Note: This painting can be seen in an article discussing the art and furnishings of Historic Devon Farm Plantation that appeared in The Tennessean newspaper on Sunday, October 2, 1977. The subject is identified in Sarah Hunter Hicks Greens’ notes as Pauline Giers, wife of Nashville photographer C. C. Giers, in costume ball attire. Provenance: Acquired from the Estate of Sarah Hunter Hicks Green, formerly of Historic Devon Farm, Nashville, Tennessee; Pauline Giers was a long time friend of the historic Hicks family. Condition: Craquelure, four patches to back, scattered accretions. Blacklight reveals numerous areas of overpainting, including a 4″ x 4″ area on shoulder, 6″ area on left far side background, and 1″ repaired tear to right side background – see blacklight photo. Sarah Hunter Hicks Green descended from one of Nashville’s 18th century settlers and original surveyors, John Davis (1770-1853), who went on to amass a property in the area now known as Belle Meade and Bellevue. His daughter Fanny married David Morris Harding (kin to the Hardings of Belle Meade Plantation). Another daughter married Edward Hicks and birthed Edward Dickson Hicks II, who went to the Gold Rush as a young man, served in the Confederate Army, and later ran the Nashville and Northwestern Railroad. Hicks inherited the Devon Farm property and developed it into an internationally known breeding site for Devon cattle. Hicks’ grandson, Edward Dickson Hicks IV, founded the Dobson-Hicks Seed Company in 1926 and served on the commission that created Nashville’s Metropolitan Government. Devon Farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. In 2002, the property was sold and now is the site of Ensworth High School. Dury’s Portraits are owned and/or displayed at numerous important galleries and museums. His works have also sold well at auction, including but not limited to the following: A Self-Portrait sold for $1,549 (not including premium) in December 2012 via Hugo Ruef Auction House in München, Germany; A Portrait of Daniel Smith Donelson sold for $7,590 in May 2011 via Case Antiques; and Portrait of Dury’s Son (Henry Dury) sold for $1,488 in July 2016 at Case Antiques, Knoxville, Tennessee.
