LOUIS H. RICHARDSON 1853-1923 Dartmouth OIL PAINTING Lake White Mountains CANVAS

Description: You are bidding on a LOUIS H RICHARDSON 1853-1923 Dartmouth OIL PAINTING of Lake Snow Mountain CANVAS Painting Location: Possibly White Mountains in New Hampshire. Dartmouth. If you know where this may be, please do send me a private message. Thanks! Condition:Overall, excellent condition. As you can see, the red arrows depict issues. One main issue is a small tear, no longer than 1 1/2 cm long. (there is a dime next to the tear to give an idea of the size) It is actually not that bad to the eye since its above a tree in the waterline. There are also two small marks that don't seem like the artists intention. So I highlighted them with arrows. They seem to be scuffs that can easily be restored. I think the tear can be restored easily since the fabric is there. Will most likely need touch up. Other than that, this is a beautiful landscape of a mountain forest and lake by LOUIS H. RICHARDSON. It is undated as far as I can tell. This is most likely Oil on Canvas. Other works by this artist that are in the same likeness sold from 1000-5000 USD. We present the Buy It Now offer of 1500 due to the imperfections mentioned above. Will come in a beautiful wood frame that works well with the overall theme of the painting. Size: Canvas: 12"x16" (Framed: 18"x22")About the Artist:Biography: Louis H. Richardson was born in New Bedford, MA, where he lived and worked until his death in 1923. Richardson was a self-taught Impressionist artist, most known for his sensitive paintings of the landscape surrounding New Bedford and the Dartmouth area. From his shanty shack studio at Salters Point in South Dartmouth, he would paint the wetlands and feature water, trees, the sky and land. In 1917, Richardson was part of a two-man show in New York City with artist Clifford W. Ashley at the Arlington Art Galleries on Madison Avenue. Of his show, The New Bedford Sunday Standard wrote: “His style is so absolutely his own that the simple mention of his name recalls to mind vividly the salt marshes, the soft browns of silent reaches near the sea, wind-blown inlets, flying clouds. … Some of it reaches a height of charm and truth that it would be impossible to surpass.” Richardson believed in the art community and founded the New Bedford Arts Club and its successor the New Bedford Fine Arts Society. When not painting, Richardson worked at the New Bedford Water Company and later as a plumbing inspector for the city’s Board of Health. He was an avid baseball player and would be known as “the Babe Ruth of New Bedford.” On his death, the local newspaper declared him “one of the best-known artists in New Bedford” and “one of the art pioneers in building up a more widespread appreciation of art in the community.” His work is in the permanent collection of the New Bedford Whaling Museum, the New Bedford Art Museum, and the New Bedford Library.Includes: Painting and Frame.
