16: ALFRED MONTGOMERY (1857-1922) OIL ON CANVAS

Alfred E. A. Montgomery (1857-1922)
(Circa 1900)
The still life composition depicting ears of corn, each kernel depicted individually in thick impasto, and spilling from a bent wood 'bushel' basket of stave construction, is signed lower right.

This is a particularly bold example of the artist's trademark allegory of bountiful harvests. Another more rare example by Montgomery in this auction depicts apples in a still life composition.
Board measures 20.25 x 24 with a framed size of 27.75 x 31.5 inches.
Very good original untouched condition. There are no issues of major scratches, losses, repairs, in-painting or touch-up. Examination under UV light confirms the complete absence of inpainting or touch-up.
$2,000 - $3,000
