Robert Wood gave the painting to her parents as partial payment for rent. The painting was unsigned for many years (as most from this period), but on November 3, 1976, Sue made arrangements to meet the then eighty-seven-year-old Robert Wood at his daughter's gallery (Violet Sigoloff) in San Antonio and have him sign the painting. There are five photographs included with this lot of Robert Wood signing the painting. Also included is a letter and appraisal by Ms. Sigoloff attesting to the painting's authenticity.<BR><BR>This is a rare opportunity to own one of the few signed and fully documented early Robert Wood paintings in existence.<BR><BR>Provenance:<BR>Acquired by descent from the artist by the present owner<BR><BR> <B>Condition Report:</B> Excellent original condition with no restorations.
