Percival Leonard Rosseau (Louisiana/Kentucky/North Carolina, 1859-1937) large oil on canvas painting entitled Carolina Pines, 1937. Two sporting dogs stand in a clearing surrounded by pine trees in a North or South Carolina landscape. Signed and dated lower left. With name and title plate from previous frame affiixed to canvas along upper edge of stretcher bar. Housed in a painted and gilt wood frame. Sight: 23 3/4" H x 39 3/4" W. Canvas: 24 1/4" H x 40" W. Frame: 28" H x 44" W. Biographical note: "Percival Rosseau was an American visual artist who was born in 1859. Known as a master painter of field and hunting dogs, Louisiana-born and Kentucky-raised Percival Leonard Rosseau studied art in Paris at the prestigious Academie Julian. His adventurous personality, which led him to jobs as a cowboy and cattle driver, were perfectly suited for following his subjects into the field. His talent was recognized in 1900 when he won a prize from the Paris Salon but his commercial success began in 1904 when he began to focus almost exclusively on animal subjects, yet the French Barbizon influence can still be seen in the soft shapes and textures used to create movement in the animals and backgrounds."
