Provenance: From the Estate of Andrew Berrick

Offered here is an exceptional original oil painting by the celebrated Western artist Andrew Berrick (1927–2025).

The Artwork

Painted in 2004, this piece is a hallmark of Berrick’s narrative mastery. It depicts a quintessential frontier scene: a group of cowboys gathered around a flickering campfire for a game of cards during a night on the trail.

• Masterful Nocturne: Berrick’s signature use of firelight is the focal point here, casting rich, amber highlights on the cowboys’ faces and clothing.

• Complex Composition: The painting features seven figures, a detailed chuck wagon, and a horse—making it one of his more intricate and desirable campfire scenes.

• Museum-Quality Framing: The canvas is housed in a monumental Baroque "swept" frame with a deep gold finish and ornate scrollwork. The frame is a work of art in itself, providing nearly 7 inches of additional width.
