Lot Description
Edward Beyer (American, 1820-1865)
Landscape with Lake, 1853
oil on canvas
signed and dated lower right, with etched inscription on stretcher reading A Merry Christmas 1898 To Aurelia Miesse. Sophia Koop
20 x 29 3/4 inches.
This landscape features three figures in a canoe on a lake, with a waterfall and a mountain range in the background. The scene does not depict a recognizable Virginia or West Virginia location, and is most likely a fanciful one.
Sophia Miesse Koop was the great-granddaughter of Johann Daniel Miesse (1743-1818), a veteran of the Revolutionary War. Her father, and Johann Daniel's grandson, was Gabriel LaFayette Miesse (1807-1886), of Fairfield County, Ohio, who was purportedly the original owner of the painting. Where and how he acquired the work remains a mystery, although Beyer is known to have traveled through Ohio in 1853, and it is possible that he met Gabriel during his travels.
