Carl M. Brown (Kentucky, 1917-2016), "Musical Interlude," 1958, oil on panel, signed and dated lower left, presented in a wood frame, H.- 12 1/2 in., W.- 23 1/2 in., Framed H.- 15 3/4 in., W.- 27 in.

Condition is consistent with age. The found wood that the artist has used has a lot of surface dents, marks and one area of wood loss in the middle. These are all original to the piece at time of artist painting. The dark area at the bottom of the structure on the right has light residue on surface, which could be a little mold. It looks like it can easily be cleaned by a conservator. The entire piece could benefit from a cleaning in general. A long surface crack stretches from the left side to middle of painting, which is due to age and humidity. This is a very handsome example. ________________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
