After Clementine Hunter (1886-1988, Louisiana), "Angels", oil on board, 20th c., signed lower left, presented in a polychromed frame, H.- 8 in., W.- 10 1/8 in., Framed H.- 10 1/16 in., W.- 12 1/8 in. Provenance: Property from Gentleman Collector, Lower Garden District, New Orleans, Louisiana.

There is one scratch to surface on the lower proper left corner, approximately 2 1/8 in. in length. This could have been done by artist or after – not clear. To the proper right of the bottom left red angel, there is another surface scratch, approximately 1 1/8 in. in length. There is a very light surface scratch (approximately 2 ½ in. in lenth) to the proper right of top red angel and on body. Additionally, there seems to be some paint flecking just about signature. We had one of the top Clementine Hunter experts look at the piece and determine that these angels were not typical of her work. Her angels had straight black hair, not curved. Regardless, this is a handsome example. __________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
