Description: Listing for a beautiful antique watercolor painting depicting a river with a couple of jon boats resting on the shore with blue mountains in the background panted by Henry August Schwabe (American 1843-1916). Find the yellow highlights playing off the deep greens to be rather compelling. Not the original frame or matting--just something I found later that worked--they are nothing special. Painting might very well deserve some better framing but looks nice as it is. Would look great in an Arts & Crafts interior. Schwabe studied under William Merritt Chase in NY. Signed "H Aug Schwabe. Con. 1909" He won a gold medal at one of the turn of the century expositions for his work in stained glass. I also recall he worked in Tiffany's stained glass studio for a spell but can find nothing online mentioning either of these details. Found them in his bio in an old 1970s or 80s Who's Who in American Art that I used to own. Do not have a copy of that now to refer to definitively. Some photos taken before remounting to picture the full work of art, front and back. Remounted at the top with two pieces of Japanese tape that is easily reversed by barely moistening them. SIZE: Outer framed dimensions are 10 7/8 by 16 7/8 inches. Mat window is 5 3/8 by 11 5/8 inches. CONDITION: Watercolor in very good original condition. Colors nice and bright. Remnants of old mount to backside. SHIPPING: USPS Ground Advantage.
