You are bidding on a Frances Bower painting dated 1948. I believe the painting is of Shiprock, New Mexico. I am no expert, but believe this is an oil and is on canvase. Maybe original frame from time. May need a little cleaning.
this is a picture from google images of the actual Shiprock, New Mexico.
"Bower was born near Topeka, July 15, 1877 and died in Albuquerque, NM, Jan. 1977, Frances Bower was a painter who specialized in landscapes and flower studies. Ms. Boser grew up in central Kansas where she began teaching school at age 17. She taught herself to paint but later studied with Ted Schuyler. She exhibited in New Mexico and Nebraska and moved to Albuquerque in 1947."
Size: Painting in frame is measured at 32 1/2" x 27" wide.
