Description: Winner receives an original oil painting on artist board by well listed American Hudson River School artist William Merritt Post (1856-1935). Although unsigned, we can guarantee the authenticity of this work 100% or your money back as it has impeccable provenance. The painting was purchased at the sale of the artist's home and studio contents in West Morris, Connecticut in 1937. The painting is coming for sale now, being deaccessioned from the Mattatuck Museum Of Art to benefit the acquisitions fund. A copy of the letter of provenance from the Museum will be included with the sale, seen in picture 8. The painting retains a label on the verso from West Wind Studio, Washington Depot, CT. The label can be seen magnified in picture 6. The painting is in excellent original condition with a few minor scattered touches of in-painting and light craquelure. The piece would benefit from a light cleaning, but does not need any restoration. The gallery frame is in excellent condition with no cracks, losses, or repairs, but does have a few minor nicks. This painting is a real gem that can be hanged as-is, or the new owner may wish to clean the painting before hanging. The frame measures roughly 19.25" x 15.25", with the image itself measuring roughly 6.5" x 3". Below is some information about the artist, whose auction results include sales up to $9,000. Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have prior to bidding or making an offer. Thank you for checking out our listing.
