Oil on canvas, framed. Attributed to Albert Ernest Backus (1906 - 1990). The painting’s composition features palm trees with detailed fronds swaying gracefully, calm waters reflecting the sky’s soft hues, and rich greenery surrounding the scene. The sky, painted with gentle strokes blending blue and white, evokes either early morning or late afternoon light. Signed A.E. Backus on bottom right corner and verso. Label on verso of SPORTSMAN'S GALLERY. 89 x 54.6 cm (25" x 21.5"), framed: 83.8 x 73.6 cm (33" x 29"). Albert Ernest Backus was an American artist famous for his vivid Florida landscape paintings.
