There is a young woman fishing at the edge of a rustic pond in this circa 1830 unsigned oil painting. It is purely American in subject, showing a an historical view of a rural settlement. On top of the eroded bluff at the back of the pond, we can see a man working in a field, with farm buildings beyond. The artist did not glamorize the setting. It is shown with stumps, mud, and a grand sense of the American wilderness' open space which 19th Century viewers loved. The painting measures 25" x 36". The frame measures 31" x 42" The painting has stable craquelure, and has been cleaned, retouched and coated with a non-yellowing satin-finish varnish. The ornate frame has been partially restored. Together, they are fabulous! Item ID: 3165AUM Fixed Price Shipping & Insurance on this item =$87.00
