John Calvin Stevens (Am. 1855-1940)One of the most important architects of the Queen Anne/Shingle style in Maine at the turn of the 20th century. Stevens was also an avid landscape painter and belonged to a Portland, Maine art group called "The Brushians". He exhibited his works with the Boston Art Club, and the Portland (Maine) Society of Art. A 2015 exhibit of his work at the Portland Museum of Art was the most recent and most important retrospective of his painting career. His works rarely appear at auction, as a majority of his pieces are owned by his descendants. His paintings are usually signed with an odd monogram resembling a backward F with an H, few paintings have both the monogram and the signature. Oil on canvas, framed.

Overall very good condition with minor paint loss upper left. Some surface soiling. Likely an original frame with later stretcher modifications.
