Description
Up for consideration is a colorful landscape painting by listed California, Ohio
France Artist William John Edmondson 1868-1966. The painting alone without the
frame measures 11 by 13.75 inches and comes with it's good original period frame
measuring at 14.5 by 17.5". It is signed lower left "W.J. Edmondson".
Furthermore there is a small sketch or study on the back possibly for this or
another. Please note... It took a while to figure out the signature but once you
get it you can't unsee it! As for the most part that is the life of buying art
in the real world... you see a painting like it pay the asking price and worry
about who it is after...of course you don't have to be right all the time just
most of the time...The painting is well done and colorful...it falls right into
his genre of work with correct palette and signature...He also did some other
portraits some of which are engaged in sewing etc...and of course are very hefty
when we speak of the wallet. His auction record is spectacular painting at
$19,395. titled "The Yellow Sweater" in 2021 at Bonham's
Knightsbridge..measuring 24x 27". If you have any questions or something to
share please message me...buyer pays shipping. We also would like you to know
this year marks our 25th here on Ebay...so thanks so much and please be safe out
there we need you!!!
Warmest Regards,
Johnny
