475. Lucy M. Taggart (American, early 20th century), "Seated Woman", c.1920; watercolor/paper, 11" x 9", signed. Indiana portrait painter. Taggart studied with Forsyth and Chase. She was a member of the North Shore Art Association, and the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors. Her work is included in the collection of the John Herron Art Institute. 300-500

476. Harry Roseland (American, 1868-1950), "The Fortune Teller", c.1910; oil/canvas, 18" x 24", signed. Very well known genre painter. Roseland worked in New York City, and was largely self-taught. His favorite subject was the subculture of post-Civil War blacks and their roles in Northeastern white society. These paintings were narrative, but Roseland's intent was to disassociate himself from the situation and merely capture the moment. He remained in Brooklyn almost his entire life, and never bothered traveling to Europe. He chose to develop a personal style, and choose subject matter that was close to him, and influenced him on a personal level. This is an excellent example of this artist's work. 12,000-15,000

477. John Wesley Hardrick (American, 1891-1968), "Still Life", c.1940; oil/board, 16" x 12", unsigned, but guaranteed. Highly important African-American painter from Indianapolis. Hardrick studied at the John Herron Art Institute (Indianapolis), and exhibited at the 10th Annual Exhibition of Works by Indiana Artists in 1917, with fellow African-American painter, W. E. Scott. He shared a studio with Hale Woodruff for a time in the 1920s and exhibited with him in 1927 at the Art Institute of Chicago. He also was included in the Second Annual Exhibition of Contemporary Negro Art in San Diego (1929). He was awarded grants from the Harmon Foundation and worked as a WPA muralist in 1933-34. 600-800
