A beautifully hand-colored photograph by Wallace Nutting titled “Proud as a Peacock” pencil titled and signed beneath the image.
This charming Colonial Revival interior scene depicts an early American room with period furnishings, braided rugs, and figures dressed in historical attire. Nutting’s delicate hand-applied color enhances the warmth of the wood furnishings and soft blue drapery, creating the nostalgic atmosphere for which his work is celebrated.
The photograph is both pencil titled at lower left and signed “Wallace Nutting” at lower right, an appealing detail for collectors. The image size is notably larger than many small Nutting examples, giving the piece stronger wall presence while remaining versatile for gallery walls or intimate spaces.
Presented in a simple black frame with warm aged matting that complements the tones of the photograph.
Wallace Nutting (1861–1941) was one of the most widely collected photographers of the early 20th century. A minister, antiquarian, and preservationist, Nutting became famous for his hand-colored photographs of colonial homes, interiors, and landscapes during the Colonial Revival movement. His works remain highly collectible and decorative today.
