A charming original Wallace Nutting hand-colored photograph titled “The Swimming Pool,” depicting a tranquil tree-lined water scene with bright blue sky, soft green foliage, and mirrored reflections across the pool. The work is pencil titled “The Swimming Pool” at lower left and signed Wallace Nutting at lower right.
This is a classic example of Nutting’s early 20th-century American pictorial photography, prized for its nostalgic landscape subject matter and delicate hand-coloring. The Detroit Institute of Arts identifies its example of “The Swimming Pool” as a 1920 gelatin silver print with hand-coloring, with the image signed and titled in pencil on the mount.
Presented in a gilt wood frame with cream matting and black inner border. The back retains older framing materials, wire hanger, and period construction details.
