This is a wonderful American painting in the Folk genre school also akin to Hudson River style. It is a beautiful painting depicting early American working life. It shows three ladies and two men working a lumber mill. There is a small boat with two ladies about to cross the log laden river from one side of the working mill to the other. We also see a man working the big logs on the water and a man and lady on the dock. The trees are humongous as they were in those days before clear cutting and farm land creating. The landscape with the mountains and trees has great detail and colors, most likely in Massachusetts. The painting is signed lower right W. Bartoll 1855. William Thompson Bartoll 1817 - 1859 associated with Marblehead Mass. He is a highly listed up to $25,000 American folk painter and his paintings are hard to find. The painting is on nice patinated stretched canvas with a beautiful period frame made of an unusual light colored hard wood. The wooden stretcher and the frame have stamped makers information on them but we can not make it out. The painting measures 24 x 18 inches with frame it measures 28.5 x 22 inches. It was cleaned professionally and had some in painting in the largest tree above the left structure (reversible and professional) and only in that area. Overall in very good and original condition. This is an amazing piece of American folk art genre scene art, a rare find. <p>Shipping and insurance are determined after checkout. <p>
