Here is an original Oil Painting by Chicago Artist John Drapp (1883 - 1938) showing a small cabin in the woods by a stream. The colors are darker than in other works I have seen by him, but the style is the same. The painting (not frame) measures roughly 14 X 18 inches. It is signed and dated in the lower right. The date is hard to make out because of extra brush marks but looks like 1921 (may be 1928 or 1908?). The painting could use a good cleaning as it has not been under glass but is in good condition for its age, just a few tiny spots of paint loss. I believe the frame is probably original to it- paper was removed at one time from the back. I believe the painting is on canvas that was cut and then put on board. I tried to take photos at different angles so you could see different views of it, it is quite stunning on the wall in diffused light.
