GUILFORD, CONN. — Lotus International Auctions is hosting an online-only Happy Holiday fine art auction December 4 at noon. All bidding, which has already started, will be done through LiveAuctioneers.

Dwight William Tryon and his wife stopped at London in 1881 after leaving France and before continuing their trip back to the United States. This is noted on page 40 of Linda Merrill’s book, An Ideal Country, Paintings by Dwight William Tryon in the Freer Gallery of Art. On that page is the same scene as the painting offered in this auction; done in pen and ink, the drawing is located at the Smith College Museum of Art. Tryon was one of America’s first Tonalist painters and was influenced by the Barbizon School of painting in France. He was an art professor at Smith College, Northampton, Mass., from 1885 to 1924. Mauritz Frederick Hendrick De Haas, shows us an atmospheric view of a crowded New York Harbor with tall ships, including a war ship.
Robert C. Ludwig brings his focus on abstract through his long painting career. All of his paintings sold out last auction.
