Pook & Pook’s Americana & International Sale Features 20th-Century Paintings and Decorative Art

Charles Morris Young was a leading Impressionist landscape painter of the early 20th century. Born in Pennsylvania, Young painted the local farmland, seacoast, and countryside with its fox hunts and old stone houses. A 1932 painting by Charles Morris Young highlights Pook & Pook’s upcoming Americana & International – Session One auction. The available painting shows a fox hunting scene at the Marshall estate in Pennsylvania.

Another 20th-century painter featured in this sale is John Stobart. Considered America’s greatest living marine artist, Stobart’s detailed paintings depict historic American ships, ports, and harbors. The available oil on canvas seascape, titled Margaret Evans, was signed and dated in 1968. Built in 1846, the Margaret Evans packet ship sailed between New York and London. Beyond paintings, the event also offers furniture and decorative art pieces. This includes several examples of Pennsylvania redware pottery. Introduced during the 17^th century, redware pottery is made from clay with a high iron content that turns reddish-brown when fired.
