Lot #79: Vintage 1974 “Rowell Barn” Signed Framed Artwork

Charming vintage rural artwork depicting a large weathered barn, outbuildings, fencing, and a pale blue sky. The finely rendered architectural lines are complemented by subtle blue colouring. Signed by the artist at the lower left and titled and dated “Rowell Barn 1974” at the lower right. Presented under glass with layered gray matting and a slim silver tone frame.The signature appears to read “G. A. Albee,” so Grace Arnold Albee (1890–1985) is a plausible artist. She was an important American printmaker known for detailed rural scenes and barns, and she remained active around the work’s apparent 1974 date. Her work is held by the National Gallery of Art and the National Museum of Women in the Arts. This is not your typical estate sale.
