The painting is in good condition and the frame shows age with wear, chips, etc. and has been touched up. The signature has been covered over slightly with paint but visible lower right. The painting shows Nichols traditional use of a simple but beautiful design and painterly use of paint observed throughout.

Here is a unique painting on masonite by Hobart Nichols signed lower right. The painting has a label from Grand Central Art Galleries and is titled Autumn Scene and dated 44. The painting is in good condition and the frame needs to be replaced as the wood insert pieces continually fall off. Im not sure what kind of frame this is but must have been beautiful when original and it is very heavy. This piece is very unique for Hobart utilized the masonites natural brown color as his ground or base color allowing it to show throughout the painting. If shipped, I would suggest using an airfloat box or having a wooden crate made to insure its safely arriving without issues and I applied 10 days for handling/shipping to occur. If possible, I would arrange for pick up which you can select at checkout.
