A closer look at the signature.

For centuries, artists have signed their works as both a mark of authorship and a quiet assertion of identity. Sometimes prominent, sometimes nearly hidden, these signatures offer a direct connection between artist and object.

Irving Ramsay Wiles’s career was shaped by his studies with William Merritt Chase and his years as a resident of New York’s famed Tenth Street Studio Building. Strongly influenced by French art, Wiles became one of America’s foremost portrait and figure painters, known for his refined draftsmanship, dynamic brushwork, and luminous Impressionist sensibility.

The cover image, Gladys, offers a more personal glimpse of the artist’s practice. The sitter is Wiles’s daughter, Gladys Lee Wiles, who would later follow in her father’s footsteps as an accomplished painter and Associate National Academician.

Throughout his career, Wiles moved between portraiture and plein-air painting, from fashionable figures and intimate family portraits to the gardens, shores, and landscapes of Long Island. His work reflects the lasting influence of Chase and French Impressionism, interpreted through an distinctly American lens.

One last taste of summer.

In Frozen Custard, Reginald Marsh captures the energy of a summer crowd gathered around one of New York’s simplest pleasures. With his characteristic eye for the city’s spectacle, Marsh turned everyday scenes into vivid records of New York life, filled with movement, color, and personality.

As summer begins to wind down, Frozen Custard feels like a reminder to linger a little longer.

Frozen Custard, 1939, is available at Questroyal Fine Art. Come see it in person at 903 Park Avenue.

“What does the seller know that I don’t?”

It’s a critical question when considering a major acquisition.

At Questroyal, we weigh the pros against the cons of every painting we purchase. And we believe collectors should have the opportunity to do the same. That means looking beyond the immediate appeal of a work and considering the factors that may give us pause, as well as those that make a painting particularly compelling.

For William Bradford’s Lights of the Aurora, the considerations are equally compelling. The nocturnal aurora is an unusual subject within Bradford’s oeuvre, and the painting’s darker palette may give some collectors pause. At the same time, its rarity makes it an especially intriguing example of the artist’s work. Bradford was an important nineteenth-century American painter, best known for his dramatic maritime and Arctic scenes, making this atmospheric depiction of the Northern Lights a distinctive departure within his practice.

There is no formula for what makes a painting right for a collector. The point is to have the conversation, weigh the pros against the cons, and decide for yourself.

Paul Cornoyer was drawn to New York in rain and snow, when the city’s architecture, streets, and parks took on an especially atmospheric character.

Here, Madison Square emerges in darker, muted tones, set against the colorful facades of the surrounding city. The scene also captures a New York that has since disappeared. The original Madison Square Garden, opened in 1879 just north of the park, stood nearby and became one of the city’s great entertainment and social landmarks. After several iterations, the building was eventually replaced by the Pennsylvania Station complex and the Garden we know today.

Cornoyer’s painting offers a glimpse of Madison Square in an earlier New York, when the city around it was still taking shape. More than a century later, the neighborhood has changed, but the rhythm of the city remains.

Little Gems

Some paintings command attention through scale. Others draw us in through intimacy.

Deer in the Wilderness by Chapin is one such little gem. Painted from the Adirondack landscapes that shaped the artist’s early career, the work captures the quiet solitude of the wilderness in an intimate format.

Though Chapin later traveled and painted across the country, he repeatedly returned to New York and remained closely connected to its artistic community. The Adirondacks, where his career began and where his life would ultimately end, remained an important part of his story.

New York, 1908.

A city in motion, captured at a moment of artistic transformation.

Abraham Walkowitz was a major proponent of American Modernism who found his subject in the streets of New York. His work brought him into the circle of Alfred Stieglitz, and by the end of the first decade of the twentieth century, Walkowitz was exhibiting at Stieglitz’s influential 291 Gallery.

New York, 1908 offers a glimpse of the city through the eyes of an artist helping to shape a new language for American art.

Summer, captured in paint.

In Children Fishing, Charles Courtney Curran transforms a quiet afternoon by the water into a timeless scene of warmth, leisure, and light. Best known for his graceful figure paintings, Curran paired a distinctly American sense of place with a technical refinement shaped by his studies in both the United States and France.

With its harmonious composition and gentle atmosphere, Children Fishing celebrates the simple pleasures of the season and the enduring appeal of the American summer.
