Philip R. Goodwin

He provided illustrations for numerous books and magazines, as well as for commercial items, such as posters, advertisements and calendars.

N.C. Wyeth, Thornton Oakley and Frank Schoonover were contemporaries of Goodwin who also studied under Pyle at that time.

Goodwin opened a studio in 1904 in New York City, and became well known for his illustrations in numerous magazines and commercial items, such as posters, calendars, and catalogs.

His work was primarily commission-based and his primary activities during that time were gun ads and calendar art, which were barely sufficient to maintain his studio.

The painting exemplifies Goodwin's open color palette, use of distance and atmosphere, and sense of humor.
