Description
Arthur R. Safford (American, 1900-1992): Chippendale Cabinet With China, oil on canvas, signed lower right. The painting is a tour-de-force of realistic tromp l'oiel painting. From a short distance, it looks three-dimensional. The painting is installed in a wooden frame which matches the tones of the cabinet in the painting.
A painter of seascapes, portraits, and figures, Safford's style is best described as romantic realism. The rendition of a subject in its precise place, light and moment is interpreted through the artist's knowledge and appreciation for its uniqueness Some of his paintings show a whimsical, fantastic interpretation of a scene but always true to the last detail.
Overall size is 41.5"x31.5"
Private collection, Boston.
Both the frame and the painting are in good condition.
