About the Item

A late 19th century American School two-sided landscape painting by an unknown artist, this oil on board has two decidedly different scenes that are each lovely to view. The most unusual is the artist’s plein air set-up in a landscape. The easel, stool and paint box all fall within the welcomed shadow of a translucent umbrella. Dappled light hits the umbrella, casting a shadow on the ground below. Varied foliage completes the treed background. The vertical composition fits the umbrella and artist’s setup well. What is interesting is the actual painting that is on the easel. It harks to the surprise - an added bonus of a tonalist sunset landscape on the reverse side. It is very competently done as well, with a colorful sky playing against the shadowed shapes of the tree line. A crescent moon rises, completing the well balanced composition. Unfortunately there is no signature present on either side. These landscapes, both painted on the same thick period board measure 8” x 16”. Both are in very good condition, having some recent cleaning and minor in-painting restoration. The wide accompanying frame is an interesting walnut carved pattern with much relief, although likely machine made. A thin gilt liner completes the frame with overall dimensions coming to 13 1/2” x 21 1/2”. The frame is in very nice condition as well, with no significant issues to report.
