33: WILLIAM JOHN WITTEMORE (1860-1955) OIL ON CANVAS

William John Whittemore (1860-1955)
Girl with Flowers & Fruit (Early 20th Century.)
The allegorical portrait of Summer is displayed in an exceptional carved and gilded frame in the quality and manner of Foster Brothers, Boston. The subject, posed with fruit and flowers, appears to be a favorite of the artist, appearing in a number of his compositions.
Canvas measures 30 x 25 with a framed size of 36.5 x 31.5 inches.
Very good condition, relined in the 1930s, no issues of scratches, losses, repairs, in-painting or touch-up, as confirmed under UV light. This work has been re-lined but there are no areas of inpainting.
$1,500 - $2,500
