Original Signed Charles R. Higgins (1867-1930)Hand Colored Photograph, "The Mischief Maker"

For your consideration is a vintage Americanhand-colored photograph
Very popular in the early 1900's the hand tinted photos were a beautiful combination of two forms of art.
Many skilled colorists were quite literally blurring the lines between photography and painting.
Besides coloredportraits andfamily photos, tinted outdoor sceneries and landscapes and interior scenes became art pieces of a kind, increasingly sought after by collectors
The presented here picture is called “The Mischief Maker ”, made by Charles R. Higgins (1867-1930)
Although less famous thanWallace Nutting, Chas R. Higgins has an honorable place in the early 20th century array of well known photographers, and his work have become increasingly collectible.
Born in Bath, Maine, he learned the photography art from his father, joined him in his business, and eventuallytook over the studio after him. He remained in Bath for the rest of his life
As many photographers from the period, Higgins followed the lead of Wallace Nutting, creating and selling hand tinted photos.
His pictures are tastefully colored and then mounted within a platemark indentation on a typical off-white mat. The title was usually hand written lower left beneath the image, and either "Higgings", Charles R Higgins or Chas R Higgins, as in the presented here picture, was signed lower right.
Most of his pictures were sold either locally and nearby, or to visiting tourists.
His art pieces depict outdoor sceneries and landscapes, as well as Victorian interiors, typically with women, performing traditional household chores, especially around the hearth, as in the image presented here.
Two ladies in Victorian attire are seated in front of the fireplace. The older one is criticizing the younger one, pointing a warning finger at her. The girl, with hands in her lap, looks concerned
The picture, mounted in a period frame, is ready for display
