- Lot Description
Richard LaBarre Goodwin (1840-1910)
Woodcock, 1891
signed and dated "R. La. B. Goodwin 1891" lower right
oil on canvas, 18 by 24 in.
Born in Albany, New York, Richard LaBarre Goodwin was the son of portrait painter Edwin Wyburn Goodwin. Taking after his father, he painted portraits before turning to the "gibier mort" genre. Most famous for his "cabin door" paintings featuring a variety of hanging game birds, Goodwin worked in a highly realist style along the lines of Alexander Pope Jr. and George Cope.
Goodwin began painting "trompe l'oeil" still lifes during the 1880s, when he spent a decade traveling through rural Western New York. In 1890 Goodwin began his itinerant life, first moving to Washington D.C. While there he found patronage from California Senators Leland Stanford (who is best known as the founder of Stanford University) and George Hearst (millionaire investor who founded the Hearst publishing empire with his son William Randolph Hearst). He went to Chicago for the 1893 World's Fair and stayed for the next seven years. In 1900 he moved west, spending the remainder of his life in California and the Pacific Northwest.
This rare and detailed depiction of a pair of live birds by Goodwin expertly depicts two woodcock in their natural setting.
