Alexander John Drysdale (Louisiana, 1870-1934), "Louisiana Bayou Scene," oil wash on board, signed in pencil lower right, presented in a faux-wood frame, H.- 17 3/8 in., W.- 25 3/4 in., Framed H.- 21 3/4 in., W.- 30 1/4 in.

Condition is consistent with age and use and is considered "AS IS." There is a large vertical tear to board along right side of artwork with a 1-inch by 1/2-inch missing surface area. The lower left (or proper right side) has a faint horizontal crack to board. Additionally, there are some white marks to surface on proper right side, possibly from rubbing against another object. This piece was not properly stored and as a result the condition is not ideal, would recommend extensive restoration. Condition is not stated in the description of the item. The absence of a condition report does not mean that the item is free of damage or condition issues. Some items do show signs of age or wear. CCAG strongly suggests that you do not bid without requesting a condition report. Requests for condition reports will not be honored after 5 p.m. CST on the Tuesday prior to the auction.
