I am aware that Northeast auctions listed it as a Chandler, yet they were just going by what the owners of the painting told them.<br /><br />So what I am trying to learn about are elements of the painting, i.e, the drum, the flag, his clothes, etc to try to shed light on this painting. Consensus so far amongst several of my colleagues is that the painting was done just after the Civil War, and may be a patriotic illustration leading up to the Centennial in 1876. Goodhue generally was done painting children's portraits a number of years earlier. <br /><br />If you have any insights you can provide about the drum itself that would be most appreciated!<br /><br />Thank you<br /><br />Don<br /><br />Don Olson<br />Fine American Antiques<br />The Intersection of Early and Color<br /> <br />Email: earlypieces@aol.com<br />Antiques Website: www.donolsonantiques.com<br />Member: ADA (Antique Dealers' Association of America)<br />Member: NHADA (New Hampshire Antique Dealers' Association)<br />Member: VADA (Vermont Antique Dealers' Association)<br />Member: Historic Deerfield<br />Linkedin: http://www.linkedin.com/in/donolson <br />47 Lafayette Parkway, Rochester, NY, 14625<br />585-385-9002Ellis Mirskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059186096779798410noreply@blogger.com
