Early 20th-Century Signed Oil on Canvas of Woodland Muse
Item Details

She wears a sheer silken gown adorned with fresh flowers, and a crown of flowers on her head. She smiles welcomingly at the viewer and raises a hand in peaceful greeting. The background is filled with tonalist trees, vegetation, and undergrowth. This work is mounted in its original antique beveled wood with opulent cast molding and a gilt finish. The verso is wired to hang.
