Very good vintage condition. Light age specks and a few faint rubs in the sky field; scattered small nail holes and warm patina to the frame.
A signed original oil by Albert Webster Davies (1889 to 1967), one of the most recognized names in American folk art. A New Hampshire native who took up painting at 65, Davies earned the name "the Male Grandma Moses" for his meticulous naive scenes of 19th-century New England. His work was handled by Kennedy Galleries in New York and exhibited at the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Folk Art Museum in 1965, with an auction record of $6,250. To own a signed, framed Davies is to own a piece of the American folk canon.
