SIGNED (Last quarter of the 19th Century) GATHERING IN THE GARDEN.

SIGNED (Last quarter of the 19th Century) GATHERING IN THE GARDEN. Outstanding oil on canvas outdoor scene shows a family gathered outside an old stone building which is covered with flower vines and surrounded by flowers and trees. A young maiden in fancy pink dress, hat and parasol is seated on some rocks and smells a red rose that she is holding in her hand. Her mother, in a black dress, looks on. Two children are seen gathering flowers with a white dog beside. Three older girls are seen in the background, one picking flowers. The painting is signed lower right indistinctly. Housed in its original gilt liner. The frame was not found in the house. This untouched painting exhibits outstanding detail, color and subject matter. Obviously done by an artist of great talent. SIZE: 17-1/2″ x 14-3/4″. PROVENANCE: Estate of Jane Stradley, Kemblesville, Pennsylvania and Princess Anne, Maryland. CONDITION: Craquelure and surface dirt. Appears to be untouched. There is a small 1/4″ chip at center left. Otherwise very good. 9-91667 (5,000-10,000)
