Helene Alison
was active as a painter in
Pennsylvania
in the
mid to late 20th century,
with this
signed oil on canvas
dating from
1970 to 1976.
It's artist signed in paint in the lower left corner of the painting. It's framed in its original period, fork raked wooden frame and still has a
metallic paper picture framer's Pennsylvania label
affixed to the back of one of the painting's canvas stretcher bars. The brown paper dust cover, once fully covering the back of the canvas, has since been largely torn away, now exposing the back of the canvas. The
spotted
Palomino
horse
is wonderfully painted and has extraordinary detail. An exceptional
Ame
ri
can
horse painting.
Absolutely gorgeous. Not just for horse or racing lovers. Very clean.
CONDITION:
Very Good to Excellent overall vintage condition.
