AIDEN LASSELL RIPLEY (1896-1969)Dove Shooting, 1947
signed and dated "A. Lassell Ripley (c) 1947" lower left
watercolor, 17 by 24 1/2 in.
By the 1930s and 40s, Aiden Lassell Ripley had established himself as the most sought-after painter of southern plantation scenes. Business executives and political leaders traveled to estates during the dreary northern winters to hunt for wild turkey, quail, and dove.
In Dove Shooting, Ripley includes the elements of a good southern dove hunt. The hunter, in sporting attire, raises his gun on the birds, the dog handler stands by, and the canine waits its turn to retrieve. Ripley’s dove shooting depictions rarely come to market, relative to his quail and turkey scenes.
