Antique Folk Art Oil Painting, Landscape with House, Lake, Boats

This American primative school oil painting depicts a charming scene, undoubtedly painted from life, of an old house on a wooded and rocky promontory overlooking a lake. The oil is painted on some type of artist board.

Late 19th century.

Painted by a “Sunday artist” as they called the amateur folk painters, perhaps the owner of the house.

Provenance: the previous owner was a serious folk art collector who purchased this at Skinners Auction House in Boston.

I had the painting reframed with a quality wooden frame appropriate to its character. The backing is conservation quality.

Sight: 11 1/2” x 8 1/2”

Frame: 15’ x 12”
