Title: Steam Train Crossing a Bridge
 

 

Description

This view of 2 children playing by a forked stream has a steam train going across a tall arched column bridge behind. The bridge is very architectural with heavy dental style molding showing across the top of the bridge. The painting has been cleaned, relined and is in an old, if not original frame. The appeal of the children in the period victorian clothing is undeniable, the steam train interesting, and the entire scene one of innocence and nostalgia. This is an oil on canvas and is in excellent condition.

Title: Bearded Gentleman with Standup Collar
 

 

Description

This portrait of a bearded gentleman has been cleaned and rebacked with microcrystalline wax. The condition is excellent. The artist C. Philipp has a notation that I assume means is From Photo but actually says Fr. Phot. The skin tones are good and the costume well executed. The oil on canvas painting has been cleaned and is in excellent condition. This is a very Victorian appearing painting and the gentleman is a pleasant sort of chap.

This painting shows the interior of probably a residence in or around the UT campus with a stained glass window below the architectural moulding on top, a vintage drink machine, a ceiling light fixture and the shelves holding bottles, pottery and props. The painting is signed on the back with the name of the artist Stevens and the word Interior for the title and the name of Carraway, possibly an early owner. The look of this and the coloration is very much retro 1960s.
