Artist: Cecil Calvert Beall (1892-1967)

Description: Peasant widow slicing bread for hungry American soldier.

Publication information: Likely for a Collier’s story, though exact particulars are not known at present.

Medium: watercolor on illustration board

Size: 23.5 x 17.75”

Signature: Signed lower left.

Condition: A couple scattered minor inpaints, overall good. Beall was in the habit of applying a light coat of varnish to his watercolors and this example is no exception. That said, unlike in some other subjects, the slight yellowish cast of the picture just adds a heightened mood to the composition. Tastefully, though not spectacularly framed. .

Comment: Pound for pound, Beall was one of the most “realistic” of the watercolor illustrators of his day. A prolific artist who was a frequent contributor to Collier’s, Beall’s impact was such that President Truman chose Beall’s recording of the event as the official painting of the Axis’ surrender aboard the USS Missouri.

Price: $1,200.
