Harvey Otis Young (American, 1840-1901). Fishermen on Lake. Oil on canvas, 1873. Signed with date in lower right. An appealing painting by American artist and prospector Harvey Young depicting a serene landscape of two fishermen upon a lake. The pair of figures sit upon a wooden boat, seemingly about to embark out upon the tranquil waters. Behind them they leave a sandy shore and a densely wooded forest of towering pines and leafy deciduous trees. Tapering mountain peaks rise in the distance, nearly fading into the pale blue sky. Harvey Young painted this piece in 1873, the same year he returned to the Sierra Nevada to sketch and made his way thru Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. Many of Young's other paintings are also dated to 1873, such as "Great Blue Lake," "Sierra Nevada," "Rocky Mountain Scene," and "Echo Lake," which was exhibited in Morris Schwab's gallery. A beautiful piece, set in a gorgeous custom wooden frame. Size of painting: 23.5" W x 13.5" H (59.7 cm x 34.3 cm); frame: 29" W x 19" H (73.7 cm x 48.3 cm)
According to the Kirkland Museum of Fine and Decorative Art: "Harvey Otis Young was born in Lyndon, Vermont on November 23, 1840. Over the course of his lifetime he had a career as both a miner and landscape artist: the latter of which proved most fruitful. He traveled throughout Europe to study and paint, most notably in Munich and Paris. He also traveled throughout the United States on sketching trips, worked in California, New York, New Mexico, and Arizona and eventually settled in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Young associated with the other important landscape painters of the day, attending sketching trips with William Henry Bancroft and teaching Alexis Comparet. He also promoted the arts in Denver as a charter member of the Denver Artists' Club."
