This is a stunning antique Colonial School oil painting featuring
vibrant use of color to depict the virgin Mary holding baby Jesus. Well
executed, with fine details to the dress and flowers. The work is
unsigned and dates to the 19th Century, potentially earlier as assessed
by the crude wood frame the canvas is stretched on.
The painting
has been framed in a later era gold frame which compliments the work
nicely. Age-related wear with small areas of stains, surface wear and
about six tears or small holes. There is one larger tear to the upper
right corner that measures 1.25 inches long. Overall, it has a nice aged
appearance. Please review the photos for further assessment.
A
great medium size, this is perfect for a home or chapel. Measures 16.25
inches high, 13 inches wide and 1.25 inches deep. The frame border is
0.75 inch wide and the dimensions of the painting are 14.25 inches high
by 11.5 inches wide.
