This beautiful folk portrait came from rural upstate NY. I’ve enjoyed having this piece in my collection for the past 10 years. Clothing indicates circa early/mid 1800’s. Original everything, including nails. Canvas is in outstanding condition: no holes, restoration, relining or repairs. I bought it untouched and left it that way. There are two barely visible pale white spots on the child’s shoulder wax? And a small shiny drip under the lower lip (shown in images). This canvas is mounted on a slightly asymmetrical handmade oval stretcher. (appears to be original to the canvas). Portrait is fit in a late 19th century hardwood frame. Mounting brackets are easy to remove with a screwdriver. The item “Early Original 1800’s Child Cat Primitive American Folk Art Painting Portrait” is in sale since Sunday, September 30, 2018.
