WILLIAM H. D. KOERNER (1878-1938)Remington Arms Illustration, 1914
signed and dated "W H D Koerner 1914" lower left
oil on canvas, 37 by 24 in.
Born in Germany, Koerner moved to Iowa with his family when he was three years old. At twenty, he began his artistic career as an illustrator for the "Chicago Tribune." He attended the Art Institute of Chicago before moving with his wife to New York City and enrolling in the Art Students League. Koerner then completed his formal education in Delaware with famed illustrator Howard Pyle (1853-1983), whose other students included N. C. Wyeth (1882-1945), Philip R. Goodwin (1882-1935), and William Harnden Foster (1886-1941). Koerner's artwork can be found in museums across the country, including the American Museum of Western Art in Denver and the Whitney Western Art Museum in Cody, Wyoming, where his studio is replicated.
This charming painting was an important illustration for the Remington Arms Company, one of the oldest gun manufacturers in the country, founded in 1816. In it, a hunter and his setter companion take a water break with a friend, showing off the Remington-made pump-action shotgun and shells. Koerner captures the generous camaraderie among sportsmen as the image centers on the pair of shells and gun.
This lot includes the original oil painting, a reproduction tin of the same image, and a poster celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Remington shotgun from 2008.
