Autumn Foliage Scene by New York and California artist Vera Leeper (American 1899-1969). The painting is signed Vera Leeper at the lower right and shows a scene along the famous Storm King Road in New York, which runs along the Palisades and Hudson River. The scene is identified by a sticker affixed to the back of the work. The painting is executed color-impregnated materials applied over Masonite. The fall foliage is thickly rendered and there thereby produces the vibrant 3-D textured appearance. The materials appear completely stable and there are some areas of open ground. Leeper was born in Denver, Colorado and lived in Yorktown Heights and New York City before moving to Los Angeles, California in 1940. She exhibited in Kansas in the 1930s, Los Angeles in the 1950s, and her works are in the Denver Museum of Art. The painting here dates from around 1930-35, in our judgement.Image size 19 ½” x 23”.
