Howard Hill

Howard Hill (d. 1870) Day's End signed "HHill" lower right oil on canvas, 24 by 30 in. Although he was a popular artist in his time, Howard Hill is now best-known for being Norman Rockwell's (1894-1978) maternal grandfather. This work depicts a hunter cleaning his gun after a successful day of mallard shooting as evidenced by what surrounds him. Hill has paid special attention to the birds, capturing their graceful form and richly-colored plumage. Provenance: Private Collection, Massachusetts
