ON-LINE GALLERY OF WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS 

Henry A. Walker    ©     As a water color artist, I have learned to be patient and work carefully with the watercolor paint of my choice, in this instance it is Windsor Newton watercolor paint.  My watercolor technique varies depending on the watercolor goals I strive for; It can be very disciplined or quite loose. My watercolor art is realistic in nature, whether it be  watercolor landscape, watercolor seascape or watercolor still life.

  TUTTLE FILE 3/29/07

Subject: Oil painting of “Helen at Six Years Old”  ~(Helen Schmidt (Davidson) Birthdate l888) 

Oil on canvas/stretcher:  24” x 42” painting.  Probably original frame. Framed 34” x 54”

Painting signed by Artist: 1894 Franklin Tuttle (1916)

"TUTTLE, Franklin  (Artist) late 19th c. 

Addresses:  NYC, 1888, 1890.  Exhibited:   NAD, 1888, 1890. 

Sources: Naylor, NAD.”

Who was Who in American Art 1564-1975  Vol. III P-Z Sound View Press, l999

(Information from New York Historical Society)

  

Some water damage around stretcher and left eyelid.  Needs cleaning.

 

Signature:

FRANKLIN TUTTLE.  1894

BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION:

Little biographical information except he was a NYC artist. Research follows.  See also Askart.com

NOTE: This is not C. Franklin Tuttle c. 1841-l893; Charles F. Tuttle died in l893 (father?).  

RESEARCH ON ARTIST: FRANKLIN TUTTLE

Research: Albert Elkins, Designer, National Portrait Gallery, Washington, D.C.

Franklin Tuttle b. 1866 – died 1916

A 1929 article: “Franklin Tuttle painted NEW YORK WORTHIES OF FORTY YEARS AGO. Exhibition of historical portraits of past presidents of Union League Club including Hoppin, FL. Olmsted, Hamilton Fish, John Jay, etc.  General Grant and Lincoln.

Is the painting older than the date of the article?  

  

 

-- New York Historical Society note from Eric Robison, Reference Assistant. An artist Franklin Tuttle is mentioned twice in the New York Times:  1)

A 12 January 1894 Article in the TIMES mentions another painting (in addition to the Union League group portrait I had originally queried) by a Franklin Tuttle—A Corner in the Union League Club” which includes six portraits of clubmen. 

 2) A 19 September 1893Times article describes an historically themed painting hanging in the Hotel New Netherland. According to the article, Franklin Tuttle was a well-known New York artist living at the time the article was published.  Quote from article: “Mr. Tuttle spent six months in the study and preparation of his picture and has thrown into the painting, apart from the accuracy of the historic detail, a vast amount of excellent artist work.”

PROVENANCE

On June 28, 2003, D. Walker bought this painting at an estate sale from the grandson of Helen Schmidt Davidson: Frank Davidson, Atty., Arizona, from the estate of his mother Elizabeth Davidson, Edgewater Drive, Kent, OH.  Helen Schmidt Davidson was mother of Fritz Davidson of Kent (inventor).  Frank Davidson supplied these details and photo of children, which included his grandmother.

Provenance of painting of Helen Schmidt, b. 1888 – date of painting 1894 (age six?)

            Helen Schmidt was daughter of George Schmidt,

            W. 46th Street NYC. A small business owner (hardware store?) who also

            lived in Scarsdale and Rutherford

FRAME:  Frame on Tuttle Schmidt painting  Size 34” by 54”  Gilded gesso and wood molding.

We are not sure which child is Helen.
