Item Details
Description
After Alfred Montgomery (American, 1857-1922). Oil on canvas painting depicting a basket with ears of corn spilling out.

This work is very similar to work by Alfred Montgomery. A "farmer-painter" for most of his life, ears of corn were a staple in Montgomery's work from early on. He boasted that if he was crossing a street a horse would try to reach out and eat the corn that his paintings depicted. It took him nearly nine years to learn his unique technique of layering paint to produce a textured and raised effect for each kernel that adds both depth and realism.

Sight; height: 19 in x width: 26 1/2 in. Framed; height: 22 1/2 in x width: 30 1/4 in.
Condition
The painting is in good condition with no visible tears, creases, or losses. To the upper left corner, there is a minute paint loss. Throughout the painting, there are minute white paint accretions, which do not significantly alter the overall appearance of the item. There is a minute paint loss to the lower right quadrant. No visible sign of restoration under UV light. Light wear to the frame.
