Severin Roesen American, 1815-1872 Still Life with Pilsner and Fruit Oil on canvas 16 x 20 inches Provenance: Howard Antiques, Bedford Hills, NY Private Collection, Baltimore, MD Dr. Peter Pollina, NY Constance McCole, Wilkes-Barre, PA Thence by descent to the current owner Literature: Judith H. O'Toole, Severin Roesen, Lewisburg: Bucknell University Press, 1992, p. 126. Please note that this work is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Judith H. O'Toole dated October 2, 1996. Dr. O'Toole states: "As you know, Roesen left many of his works unsigned. However, there are hallmarks in your painting which clearly link it to this painter. In particular are the: Finely executed pilsner; graceful grape tendrils painted in two shades of green; striations in the apple (foreground); and oblong dewdrops scattered throughout. "It is my opinion that this is a canvas dating from Roesen's Williamsport period (1860-1872) and is authentic. It is listed as such in my catalogue on the artist." C
