DESCRIPTION: An excellent and large 36 x 31 original oil painting by noted American artist Douglas Gorsline. Gorsline was born in Rochester NY, and educated at the Yale U school of art. He was a full member and instructor at the Natrional Academy. His later works were done for illustration in magazines and books. But, his most valued and collectible works are from his early career during the WPA period. This painting is an excellent example of this style and period. A beautiful woman with flowers in her hair, and also holding bouquets. She is very comparable to women portrayed in both of Gorsline's two record high auction prices of $32,500 and $30,500.

Has some surface dirt, some slight waves to canvas, and one area of scraping to the paint surface at lower right corner. Overall though it is in untouched original condition with no signs of restoration. Probably never even cleaned. Exactly the way you want to find a vintage oil painting. We have provided excellent hi-res photos so you can judge condition for yourself.
