Oil on canvas, signed lower left “A.D. Cooper.” Known for his risqué subjects and popularity in Western saloons, Cooper produced a body of work reflecting the bawdy tastes and visual culture of the frontier male gaze. This full-length portrait of a nude woman with long flowing hair and sheer blue drapery stands against a wooded backdrop, suggesting allegorical or mythological overtones typical of “boudoir” paintings displayed in 19th-century barrooms and gambling halls. Dimensions: Canvas 50 x 30 in.; Frame 60 1/2 x 40 1/2 in. Provenance: Al and Carol Cali Collection. Pickup & Shipping: This lot is available for free local pickup in Sacramento, CA.
