up for consideration is a fine old Antique Oil painting by listed Michigan, France (Paris) artist Charles Franklin Chamberlain (1871-1947). The painting alone measures 18 by 24 inches and with the frame slightly larger...The piece sports and exhibition label on the back with the artist's name filled out. P Please see photos as part of the description. The painting does not come across as well as it does in real life or when viewing in person...it has a wonderful overall tonalist and or atmospheric feel to it when viewing...Like much of the impressionistic work the raw colors are painted in dabs of pure color and of which blend together when viewer steps back away...so when viewing this piece the patches of green and all the wonderful brush work seems to disappear...but when you look up a little closer one can see that it is a real masterpiece...and judging but what I have seen this one of his better works...I think he really got this one right...thusly it was exhibited...and possibly put up for sale. Please understand that the frame is not only gilt but also appears to have a little added color that corresponds nicely with the work. He lived and worked less than 45 minutes away from my location...here is some biographical information as per his daughter and others gleaned from Askart.
