Antique Folk Art Farm House & Outbuildings Mid Winter Scene

Collectibles : Folk Art

 

Adorable and detailed painting of a rather elegant farm house with a mansard roof and look out tower. The artist wanted you to see all the detail of the buildings - brick by brick, and board by board.

The dusk light (or is it dawn?) of late December shimmers, giving the scene a meditative appeal. I love the way the light fades across the length of the work. To the left of the scene the descending darkness is perfectly captured.

This wonderful antique folk art painting is signed H.C.A., and dates to c1900 or thereabouts. The backing is nailed in with flat nails, so it could be older.

DETAILS Oil on cardboard; measures 22 1/2" x 10"; original frame - wood painted gray, with delicate detailing.

CONDITION

VERY GOOD - minor scuff upper left as shown. Frame has wear to paint.
