The painting depicts a fantastic whimsical scene of a man who appears to be dancing with a cane and dog. It is signed Bill Traylor in the upper center area. This painting has been through a very long & controversial ordeal. According to the previous owner, this painting belonged to his late grandmother “Fanny” who lived in Queens and he received it as a gift from his grandfather “Albert”. Another problem the autheticators had was that an old matting was glued down to the actual work and they strongly encouraged him to have it removed. Unfortunately he ended up taking it to one of the worlds most unprofessional “art conservators” who ended up damaging some of the paint on the mans shirt and cutting down the painting in order to remove the Matt. Value of this painting has been affected considering everything that it’s been through. Having stated all of the above please note that. The measurements are 10 x 14″ inches unframed and 14 x 18″ inches framed. The painting sits within a beautiful golden wood frame that is NOT original to the painting. With the exception of some paint loss and the fact the painting was cut down from its original size, we think that it is in overall good condition. But please look at the images for more details.
