Intriguing large antique 19th century (c1850s) original early American watercolor painting. Depicts a brilliant eye catching landscape scene complete with river, dirt path, figures, foliage and fort in the distance. My first thought was that this was a view of West Point from the Hudson River but it will require some further research. Medium is watercolor on period rag paper done in a primitive folk art style. Well done with impressive detail and use of color. The style of leaves in the tree is commonly associated with the early American style of painting leaves. Great capture of light. Period iron gall ink inscription with measurements on verso as well as a period pencil inscription which I can only partially make out. Wolfe Chief seat of the ___cals (see photos 12). Signed by the artist Jane Shaw in the bottom right corner. Quite worthy of further research. Loosely mounted to rigid paper board backing and ready to frame. In Very Good overall condition. Clean and crisp with only gentle toning and corner wear. No holes, rips or tears. Guaranteed a genuine mid 19th century early American watercolor painting. Measures 23″ x 17″.
