Furthermore, Timmons graciously invites the viewer to meander through the countryside by following a walking path that meanders through the composition. A charming painting set in a finely carved, gold-tone frame of the period. Size of painting: 18.125" L x 24.25" W (46 cm x 61.6 cm) Size of frame: 21.5" L x 27.5" W (54.6 cm x 69.8 cm)

This painting was signed by the artist on the lower left and is in overall excellent condition save a few minor scuffs here and there that are difficult to see. The frame is also very nice with minor scuffs/abrasions to the peripheries and high-pointed areas as shown. It is wired for suspension and ready to display.
