Oil on canvas, unsigned, c. 1850. Naive painting by an itinerant artist of the Hudson River School tradition. Canvas primed by the artist.
The painting is in an excellent state of preservation. No craquelature, yet no evidence of prior conservation. Our conservator, Fred Kozsewnik, performed gentle cleaning to remove the discolored natural resin varnish plus accumulated airborne soot and grime. He then applied a protective varnish and performed minimal inpainting and properly mounted the painting in the frame.
From an estate in Chester County, PA.
