DESCRIPTION:
For sale and recently discovered in a
southern
New Hampshire
finely appointed estate, is this pristine and nearly immaculate,
early 20th century
Ame
ri
can
vintage
oil on board
landscape of the
White Mountains
rising in the distance in front of a glacial lake, rimmed with conifers and vegetation. The faint light slate blues and violets of the distant mountains can be seen faintly in the distance, with rose, gold and yellow reflecting the late day sunlight on its snowy crest, illuminating the mountain's peak. This
Depression-era,
pre-WWII
Ame
ri
can
oil on board
New England
vista was done by the
Ame
ri
can
artist (who was active in
New England)
Anstrice C. Kellogg,
who signed his name in the lower right corner of the painting in orange paint. The painting is framed in a vintage, period,
Depression-era,
1930's
wooden frame, with a stamped face and gold gilded finish. The black paper dustcover has since torn away but the picture framer's label is still affixed to the back of the frame. Exceptional detailing and impasto paint application. Extraordinary spatial depth of field and treatment of atmosphere. If you haven't already visited the
White Mountains,
well this painting may help you understand why so many
Ame
ri
cans
from outside of
New England
do. Absolutely beautiful.
CONDITION:
Very Good to Excellent overall vintage condition.
