Artillerymen at Muster

Courtesy of John W. Eichleay, Jr.

Vital Statistics

Oil on canvas, mounted on board, 11 1/2 x 20 1/2 inches framed
Signed lr: "Wm. T. Trego"
John W. Eichleay, Jr.

Commentary

The thirty artillerymen and officers in this study could be gathering to participate in a roll call or about to receive a military briefing. It is likely a study for an otherwise unknown work. It is noteworthy for the lack of dynamic activity that Trego preferred, especially when portraying artillery subjects. It is possible that the image was intended as an illustration.

Provenance

Owned by Pittsburgh art dealer, Harry O. Eichleay as early as the mid 1960s at which time Eichleay gave the work to his nephew's wife, who ultimately passed the work to her son, the current owner.

Condition

The painting is in good condition.
