Monogramist H.N. Signed Oil on Paper Cypress Trees, Original 1930’s.


We like to imagine that this monogramed “HN” piece was painted plein air by the artist touring the Mediterranean in the 1930’s. The colors are remarkably vibrant given the age, and painted with an Impressionistic palette and lovely purple hued shadows. It’s housed in its original gilded frame, but with a new archival silk mat and conservation grade UV blocking glass.


Monogramed “HN” in lower left corner


Medium: oil on paper


Sight size of paper: 9 5/8” x 6 5/8” Size of outside frame: 16 3/4” x 13 3/4”


Period of creation: 1930s


Condition: The painting is in excellent condition, since it has been glazed for nearly a century. The original frame in which it it housed is still brilliantly gold, but has some damage touchups on the corners. Housed in archival materials, and ready to hang.
