Awhile back someone put up a general post about nice pieces of art that slide through the cracks because of hidden information, non-period frame, matting obscuring a signature etc. This beautiful little oil painting is a perfect example of that. I purchased it about 10 years ago at a local antique shop for $18. I particularly liked the frame and landscapes with trees are a favorite of mine. The painting is actually signed on the front, but I never saw the signature because of the oxidation. The second picture of the lower right corner was taken while being illuminated with my UV flashlight. The back was covered with an ancient piece of mat board, so I did not see the writing until I got it home and pulled it off. I suspect the painting was done after she relocated from California to Michigan. I thought I would post it as kind of a follow up to the previous post.
That's not a California scene and, according to the internet, she was living in Michigan by 1910. Debora
