CHARMING VINTAGE GOUACHE PAINTING HISTORIC MAINE LIGHTHOUSE PORTLAND HEAD LIGHT

Description: Vintage Painting of Historic Maine Lighthouse Description and Item Information Up for sale is this vintage gouache painting on paper. Please excuse any glare in the photos. In a detailed style, the painting depicts what appears to be the oldest lighthouse in Maine, the Portland Head Light of Cape Elizabeth (built in 1791). The whistle house is not shown, but this brick building was rebuilt in 1975 after it was damaged in a storm; maybe the artist viewed the lighthouse during a period when the whistle house was not standing. The painting is matted but not framed. The sight area within the mat borders measures approximately 8 inches by 6 inches. The exterior mat dimensions are about 10 inches by 8 inches. The watercolor paper is affixed to the mat with four small strips of tape, as shown. It would be a lovely addition to a collection of New England fine art. Identification The title and the artist's name are written in pencil on the mat, below the painting. The title is, "Maine." I can not make out the artist's name, so the identity is not known. The first name may begin with a J or S. The middle initial may be a W. The last name might be Herrington or Harrington. The exact age of this vintage painting is not known. Condition This matted but unframed painting looks good overall, as shown. The mat has darkened with age and has toning, as shown; there are short cuts at the interior corners from when the mat was originally cut to fit the painting. The painting looks good overall, with some light surface scuffs and a small crease mark to the left of the lighthouse. The back side is as shown. Please review the description and photos, and ask any necessary questions prior to bidding or buying. Terms of Sale 1. Payments Taxes may be applicable.
