Exhibited
"So Bravely and So Well: The Life and Art of William T. Trego," James A. Michener Art Museum, Doylestown, Pennsylvania, June 3-October 2, 2011.
Literature
William T. Trego Catalogue Raisonné, James A. Michener Art Museum (accessed online at https://www.michenerartmuseum.org/catalogue/trego/, illustrated).
Note
According to Joseph Eckardt, the present soldier "appears to be an enlisted man of a horse artillery unit, perhaps of the Civil War era or even later, in the time of the Indian Wars. The model for this work may have been James “Jimmy” Krout of North Wales who is known to have posed for Trego’s painting of a soldier of the Spanish-American War in 1900 (...). This work may be one of Trego’s sketches for a larger more finished work."
Provenance
Paul Gratz Gallery, Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
Acquired directly from the above.
Collection of Sydney F. and Sharon Martin, Doylestown, Pennsylvania.
The Estate of Sydney F. Martin.
