This is a wonderful and very large landscape oil painting on board by the great Highwayman artist, Ernest Hertig of West Virginia. The subject here was clearly one of his favorites that was featured in his work – the water falls at Blackwater State Park where he maintained his studio. Although we do not know for sure, we strongly believe the frame is the original framing of the painting – you can see in our pics how it is constructed. The wooden frame has little metal tabs that hold in place the painted board, and then the back was papered over. As noted, the painting is a very large one, which was somewhat unusual for Mr. The total length of the frame is 40 inches, with the painted board occupying 35 of those inches. The frame is 21 and 1/4 inches high, with the painted board occupying 17 of those inches. Just a wonderful piece of vintage Appalachian art from the mid-1900s.
