Description
Absolutely stunning original painting by Lawrence Reiter, signed on back tilted "Mast". Beautifu warml shades of brown, orange and yellow dominate the piece depicting the sun shining through the mast of a ship. In nearly perfect condition there is one small flaw in the bottom left corner that looks to have possibly been done by the artist as it's nearly invisible and painted to hide and is repaired behind canvas framing (see all photos). The piece measures 30" x 40" without frame, and 30 9/16" * 40 5/8" with current frame.
Artist is known. But not an option within the Chairish drop-down selections. Therefore listed as unknown herein.
