Description:
Henry P. Megargee (1887-1978)
Two Geese over a Farm
Signed "Harry Megargee" lower right
Oil on canvas, 25.75 by 17.5 inches
Henry P. Megargee was born in Philadelphia. \“Harry\” attended the University of Pennsylvania to study engineering, served in World War I, and upon his return worked on the railroad. Additionally, he trained as an artist and worked as an illustrator, creating hunting scenes for playing cards, china patterns, and \“Field & Stream\” covers.
Harry was a generous man, and his grandson notes, \“If you were lucky enough to share his company on a hunt or have him as a guest invariably you would eventually receive an oil on canvas depicting the hunt as your thank you note. Lem Ward once told me the greatest possession he had was a painting that [Harry] had given him depicting a hunt from Lem\’\’\’\’s favorite booby blind.\”
