We wish to thank Les and Sue Fox for confirming the authenticity of the present Lot, which will be added in the forthcoming supplement of the catalogue raisonné of Fern Coppedge's work.Provenance:Russell E. Hill Antiques, Shelly, Pennsylvania.Private Collection.By descent to the current owner.Private Collection, Pennsylvania.Lot Note:Fern Coppedge settled in Lumberville, near Daniel Garber, in 1920 and for the next three decades trained her eye on the region’s picturesque villages and idyllic landscapes—many of them nestled under a blanket of downy snow. The present lot, Winter, Bucks County, includes all of the hallmarks of her broadly appealing, if idiosyncratic style: simplified, mosaic-like forms, a vibrant palette, and a deliberate flattening of perspective. The present view was a favorite of the artist's: the road to Lumberville, quaint and unpeopled. Eschewing the grand vistas of Garber and George Sotter, Coppedge celebrated the intimate and the everyday–she celebrated Bucks County life writ small.
