About the Item
Dramatic, monumental oil painting laid to Masonite by George Matthews Harding (1882-1959). Painter, illustrator and muralist, Harding was born in Philadelphia. He studied at the Pyle School, was an illustrator for the Saturday Evening Post and Harpers. He did Post Office Murals for the WPA. The painting consists canvass laid to Masonite. The painting features lobstermen in a skiff, with lobster traps, and one passenger carrying a shotgun. Hunted birds are retained in the skiff for future consumption. The depiction of rugged hunters in cold waters of the northeast sends a message of fortitude and self reliance that would have resonated during the WPA.

Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves...Category
