Alfred E. A. Montgomery (1857-1922)

Circa 1900

The still life composition depicting a bent wood 'bushel' basket of stave construction, common in the 19th century, beside a primitive wood crate with bountiful ears of corn, is painted in the distinctive thick impasto technique unique to Montgomery and signed by the artist lower left.

Board measures 20.25 x 30.5 with a framed size of 27.5 x 38 inches.

AN ABSENTEE BID PLACED IN ADVANCE COULD LOSE TO A LIVE BID OF EQUAL AMOUNT PLACED LATER. First bid precedence is not possible in auctions that incorporate live bidding via multiple online platforms, live bidders participating in the sale room and live telephone bidders. The only ways to avoid the possibility of losing the bid in this manner is to attend the live auction or bid absentee with plus-one option.

Be aware that internet sales tax applies to all Internet transactions and local sales tax may apply to local pick-up transactions.

We happily provide seamless in-house packing and shipping services on nearly everything we sell.

Until further notice, we cannot offer international shipping in-house.

Good to very good condition, noting very light but long scratches just above and on the wood crate. There are no other issues of scratching or paint loss. Considerable inpainting along the right edge as shown in the images.
