In handsome modern brown frame, 16.75” x 12. Original painting, 9.625” x 6, matted in gray, w/paper backing and hang-wire. Depicts John Reynold falling from his horse after having been hit by a Confederate sniper at Gettysburg, July 1, 1863. Exhibits exquisite detail in somber half tones of black and gray. (“Goauche” is a method of painting with opaque water colors). Artist’s signature “JR Chapin” appears at the left corner.

Chapin was a Civil War-era painter illustrator engraver especially noted for his Civil War illustrations and western scenes.  From 1843-45 Chapin traveled through the South as a correspondent for “Gleason’s Pictorial,” later becoming a commercial illustrator in New York, and later organized the Art Department for Harper’s Magazine, and later created drawing for the Patent Office in Washington, DC.

Superb signed painting of a climatic Gettysburg moment by an eminent Civil War artist. Attractively mounted.  [JP] [ph:L]
