Product code: Fantastic Antique c1910 Nocturnal Folk Art Sawmill deals Signed Oil Painting
Up for sale is this really beautiful oil painting on board. It depicts a nocturnal scene of a river rushing by what looks to be a mill of some sort. I love the ghostly dark shadows of the trees faintly obscuring the moon. It's a very well-executed naive folk art style piece. The painting is signed at lower left. The artist's first name is Elizabeth, but try as I might, I just cannot make out the last name, which is painted on a very dark portion of the board. Perhaps someone with an ultraviolet light could make it out. Appears to be from the 1890-1925 range. I would guess around 1910. It comes in a very nice frame that is older deals, though perhaps not as old as the painting. The painting is in overall great shape for its age. A few small scuffs/specks of paint loss. Frame is in great condition with minor scuffs. Painting measures approximately 20 inches high x 6.5 inches wide. Frame measures approximately 21.75 inches high x 8.25 inches wide.
