Seymour Joseph Guy Sold at Auction Prices

Porträtmaler, Genre Painter, b. 1824 - d. 1910

Seymour Joseph Guy (1824–1910), was an American romance painter. He was born and trained in London but moved to New York City, where he is known for genre works. He trained for four years with the portrait painter Ambrosini Jerôme and married the daughter of an engraver, Anna Maria Barber, before his move to New York in 1854. He was a member of the Sketch club and became friends with John George Brown, and they both began to paint genre works of children, probably inspired by their own, as Guy eventually had nine. He died at his home in New York on December 10, 1910.

          DESCRIPTION: Excellent original oil painting by world renowned American artist Seymour Joseph Guy. Features a beautiful, well dressed woman on a carpeted outdoor balcony with the North Star shining over the water behind her. Most likely a ship captains wife waiting for his return. SJ Guy is one of the best American genre painters of the 19th C. His most expensive paintings generally involve children as subjects. Of all the non child paintings I have been able to find, this is by far the best. In both subject and quality. A great chance to own a fine original painting by an important American artist.
