About the Item

We acquired his large mural study out of an old Hudson River valley estate. It had been rolled up for years. It appears to have been cut down on the left side. Clearly a WPA Mural product. When we acquired it the dimensions were approximately 68 wide by 81 inches tall. We had it professionally stretched and approximately 3 inches were lost. It now measures 65 by 78 inches. It is not signed that we have found. It was likely a study for a large mural somewhere. There are a few different elements to the painting. There is an artist painting a girl reading, a fly fisherman in the wilderness and a group of people enjoying a production in what appears to be a theater, although that part on the left is likely gone forever. Nevertheless it is quite a beautiful product of the WPA period. There is quite a bit of paint loss as can be seen clearly. We have not tried to restore it in any way other than stretching it.
