About the Item

A small oil painting on canvas. It is a naive portrait of an American soldier in uniform. It appears to be framed in a handmade oak frame along with handcrafted pine stretcher bars, and pine turn pieces as levers to hold the painting in the frame. This frame is likely all original, and probably made by the artist. The simple frame is itself, remarkable.
