Unsigned
F.W. Devoe & Co. Board
Up for sale is an excellent antique 19th century American school oil painting depicting a fabulous cold winter landscape. The low sun casts a wonderful warm yellow and pink tones through the center of the composition giving us the only relief from the mostly grey and white surrounding. A subject walks back facing the viewer with his faithful dog by his side. Executed in oil paint on F.W. Devoe & Co." artist board this company was a manufacturer / retailer of artists supplies in 19th century New York. While the painting measures 11 x 15 inches the later frame measures 13 3/4 x 17 5/8 inches. The condition of the painting is good looking like it has been recently cleaned showing minimal craquelure and or minor surface imperfections. While no signature is present recto, there is considerable amount of illegibly pencil writing verso that appears to hold quite a bit of information regarding this work, I am unable to read any of it. The images provided accurately represent the quality, condition and aesthetic beauty of this fine 19th century American school painting but if you have any questions please feel free to ask prior to purchasing!
