Unique and lovely, vivid original painting in what appears to be mixed media of watercolor and gouache, or possibly tempera. The painting is signed lower right, "Alvarez." We believe this is a listed artist, and have indeed seen several of this turn-of-the century artist's paintings before, always in this vivid, unique style, and always of desert, caravan, and nile scenes, usually with the signature palm or date trees in the foreground. In it's original small wood, 1/2" frame, with the original backing, and original label stating: "Banfield-Hullinger Co., Art Goods, 503 Geary (looks like) St., San Francisco." B-H Company was a California art gallery, open in the late 19th, early 20th century. One of the partners, Banfield, was, himself, in the arts, and gained fame as a photographer. It measures 10.50" x 5.00" (26.67 x 12.70 cm) overall. Condition appears to be excellent, although we have not examined it out of the frame, not wishing to disturb the originality of the backing. There is a small darker square in the sky which is either on the glass or an unfaded part of the painting where a price label appeared before we purchased it. A striking small orignal painting circa 1890-1910. $12 US Shipping. |
