This is oil on canvas measuring 30 by 24 inches. T are 3 small patches on the back Other than that the painting is all originall and is in nice condition considering that it is over 80 years old. We examined the painting under ultra violet black light. This showed inpainting to be only very minimal , representing no more than 1 to 2 percent. This is a richly colored , thickly textured oil painting by a well known American woman artist .It is highly decorative. We are listing it with no reserve at an opening bid that is only a fraction of its real value. Thanks for looking - Mikethepicker .
