An endearing example of American Impressionist --; an oil painting on canvas by Adam Emory Albright. Hand signed and dated 1916 on the bottom left. Adam Emory Albright (1862-1957) was a painter of figures in landscapes. He was born in Monroe, Wisconsin and spent his working life in Warrenville and the Chicago area. Albright began as a landscape painter but moved to strongly foregrounding individuals in most of his paintings. A particular interest for his paintings was children. He painted in oils, using almost pastel tones and visible brush-strokes, creating realistic paintings that approached Impressionism in style. Themes portrayed by the man called the James Whitcomb Riley of the brush include country children at quiet play, at rest, and walking. Many country scenes were from the town of Warrenville and then-rural areas of what is now Chicago. From a private collection. Dimensions: 37.25"h x 31.5"w x 2"d (framed). In good vintage condition consistent with age.
