Stag Resting, Colorado Springs, Richard La Barre Goodwin (c. 1900–1902)

Stag Resting, Colorado Springs, Richard La Barre Goodwin (c. 1900–1902) Richard La Barre Goodwin’s Stag Resting, Colorado Springs invites viewers into the quiet beauty of the American West. Best known for his skillful trompe-l'œil still lifes and rustic cabin scenes, Goodwin offers here a peaceful image of a stag at rest in the Colorado landscape—a rare break from his usual themes. Trained as a portrait painter and shaped by years of travel, Goodwin brings a sense of closeness and careful observation to this wildlife study. The soft colors and lifelike detail reflect his time in Colorado Springs around the turn of the twentieth century, a period when he explored new subjects and found fresh inspiration in the West. Stag Resting is both a quiet tribute to the wild Rockies and a glimpse into Goodwin’s adventurous, ever-curious spirit. Cotton and polyester canvas on Radiata pine wood frame sourced from renewable forests. Includes back mounting.
