TWO OIL PAINTINGS BY WILLIAM SCAGEL.

TWO OIL PAINTINGS BY WILLIAM SCAGEL. These paintings, depicting a “south seas” motif, are 2 of only 5 paintings that this author has ever seen or heard about. Pictured on page 187 of Scagel Handmade by James R. Lucie, these paintings were obtained from the barmaid who used to serve Bill his Stroh’s beer at the Old Fruitport Tavern during the late 1930s. Bill had a certain fondness for the barmaid and had made her a couple of knives, which she had lost or misplaced over the years. These paintings hung over the bar for many years, and when she retired, she took the paintings with her, which is how I managed, years later, to acquire them. Scagel signed the reverse of these paintings and included the time spent in creating them. The dimensions are 14″ x 37-1/2″ including the frames. PROVENANCE: Dr. Jim Lucie Collection. CONDITION: The paintings themselves are in fine condition; the frames are a bit weathered and could stand some cleaning. 4-46239 JL73 (3,000-4,000)

Auction: Firearms - Spring 2012

Please Note: All prices include the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium, which is paid by the buyer as part of the purchase price. The prices noted here after the auction are considered unofficial and do not become official until after the 46th day.
