Oil on canvas portrait of Edward Dickson Hicks as a child (likely Edward Dickson Hicks II, 1831-1894). Depicts the subject at about age 3 in a full-length, standing pose, wearing a green gown with gold trim and white ruffled collar, holding a riding crop in one hand, the other hand resting on his dog. A column and loosely rendered landscape are visible in the background. Unsigned. Original giltwood and composition frame. Sight – 48 3/4" x 36". Framed – 58 1/2" x 45 1/2". 19th century. Provenance: the estate of Sarah Hunter Hicks Green, formerly of Historic Devon Farm, Nashville, Tennessee. CONDITION: 1/4" flake in lower right quadrant background. Blacklighting shows varnish irregularities possibly in the head and lower torso region of the child but closer examination of these areas do not indicate inpainting or restoration. Frame has several scattered surface losses up to 1" on lowermost edge.
