Lot #62: William Henry Chandler ORIGINAL Pastel

This extremely well-done original pastel is signed by America’s foremost pastel artist William Henry Chandler (1854-1928). Born into a deeply religious Christian household, his strong religious belief remained with him for his entire life. Without a doubt, there are more original pastels signed “Chandler” in the open market today than nearly any other form of early 20th c. original art. Most Chandler pastels seem to be untitled. This picturesque pastel of what appears as an abandoned house along a roadside measures 20.0 inches by 6.0 inches unframed and is signed on the lower left corner. This pastel is exceptionally well framed with a solid wood frame using the highest standards of museum framing – double, acid-free Alpha mats (top suede mat), acid-free foam-core backing, and museum glass (the highest standard of glass used in framing). Framed size: 30.0 inches by 16.0 inches. Pickup category timeslot {A}
