Yes, this Clementine Hunter is authenticated by expert Tom Whitehead. There is no physical CoA that came with the painting. There is some surface dirt visible just below and above the signature, as well as behind the horse and proper right side of the painting. Specifically, there is surface dirt around the bottom of the tree. Under black light, there are several small splatter marks from something spraying on the surface. The painting could use a minor cleaning and be good as new. This is a handsome example of Clementine’s work. __________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
