A whimsical oil on canvas by Western painter Astley David Middleton Cooper, signed and dated lower left A.D.M. Cooper 1915. Rendered in his later romantic style, this celestial composition features a procession of cherubs flying through a sunlit sky, drawing a golden chariot bearing a nude allegorical figure of Love. Delicate pastel streamers, torchlight, and fluttering wings heighten the theatricality of the scene. Cooper, best known for his portrayals of Indigenous people and frontier life, also created fantastical works such as this one. Canvas: 14 x 31 in.; Frame: 23 x 40 ¼ in. Provenance: From the group of approximately 20 paintings found in 1985 in the San Jose attic of Astley Cooper’s former mail carrier. Acquired by Brad Witherell and Greg Martin; with Brad Witherell to Al and Carol Cali. Pickup & Shipping: Free Sacramento pickup.
