Here is a painting of a mother and daughter seated with books in front of the type of setting most popular around 1815 or so. An architectural column and flowing red drapery are the backdrop of this setting, with the two subjects seated at a table. This painting has a good deal of cracquelure and age showing, there are some losses as well. A while ago I had it cleaned and re-varnished to secure everything to the canvas. Canvas size is 17″ x 13″.

ORIGINAL 1991 ANNA IGO’SCHOOL DAYS’ OIL PAINTING. This is just a great original piece. When I fist saw this work, I thought it might be the work of Cate, but it turned out it is the work of another New England 20th Century Folk Artist, Anna Igo. Cant really find much but when her works do come to market, they seem to be quite in demand. This is one of the best I can find. Oil or acrylic on wood panel that measures 18 x 16 inches. Signed and dated lower right corner. Outstanding as painted condition. The artist painted the red border to look like a frame. It shows a little scuffing in the right side but nothing too bad. Really a stunning work that could be considered one of the artist’s masterpieces. On the back of the wood is the artist’s title painted at the top. CHECK THE PICTURES ON THIS GREAT PIECE. DONT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY. If you have any questions regarding the work, please dont hesitate to ask. Pictures are an excellent indication of condition. I guarantee and stand 100% behind everything I sell. No reason to open up any sort of cases. Just simply contact me and I will handle any and all problems.

This is a charming little primitive. Folk art painting, depicting a portrait of a young lady in a red dress holding a bunch of flowers, it is executed in oils on card, The work is unsigned but the image is a great one. The size of the work is 9×7 inches as an oval -and it comes unframed. It really is a lovely evocative image and will grace any collection and in the right frame this will grace any collection. I would date it to the mid part of the 20th century. Folk Art – Portrait of a young lady in a red dress – Primitive School. Auctiva offers Free Image Hosting and Editing. Auctiva gets you noticed!

Found in the FingerLakes region of New York State this painting on canvas measures 25″ x 17″. It photographs crisper than it looks in person. Telling me it would like a cleaning. A few blemishes but overall a beautiful and very stable painting. I believe the photographs give an accurate read.
