Ben Austrian 1870-1921; Landscape Oil on Board, signed "Ben Austrian 1915" with inscription to the back by the artist.; framed. Height of art 13 1/2 inches (34.3 cm.) X width of art 10 1/2 inches (26.6 cm.). NOTE: Ben Austrian's painting career began by exhibiting a trompe l’oeil painting called 'A Day’s Hunt' that received attention in Philadelphia. However, Austrian’s success came from his animal paintings of chickens. In 1902 he went to Paris, where he opened a studio, and in London he was acclaimed “The Landseer of Chickens.” One of his chickens became the famous trademark for the Bon Ami slogan, “hasn’t scratched yet.” NOTE: Any condition statement is given as a courtesy to a client, is only an opinion and should not be treated as a statement of fact.
