Winner gets a spectacular, early folk art Americana watercolor and ink painting depicting a whaling scene. This is a very desirable subject, and very early. I would date the painting to the mid-late 1800’s. The painting is coming for sale fresh from a Lancaster County, Pennsylvania Estate. The frame measures 22.5″ x 14.5″, with the image measuring 20″ x 12″. The painting is in good, original condition, with staining around the left, right, and bottom edges, as seen magnified in picture 5. The painting is housed in a distressed, antique painted gold frame. In my opinion, it can be hanged as-is, but the winner may want to have it re-framed to cover some of the staining around the edges. What a piece of early American folk art!!! All my items have been stored in a smoke and pet free home in a temperature controlled environment since coming into my possession. Please check out my other auctions, as I will be adding more sports cards, memorabilia, autographs, antiques, artwork, estate finds, and action figures within the next few weeks. I will look over every single offer, and since I need to make room for my newest finds, you never know! Don’t be afraid, even if you feel your offer is low. I will not take offense, and worst case scenario I will say no or make a counter offer. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask, I can take more pictures if needed.
