The reverse bears the original handwritten exhibition label identifying the artist as Phyllis Wesley, the title “Study in Black and Ochre,” and the exhibition date of 1934, providing wonderful documented provenance. The painting is presented in what appears to be its original vintage wood frame, complementing the artwork’s authentic period character.

Executed in warm earth tones with expressive brushwork, the composition has a timeless modernist quality that works beautifully in both traditional and contemporary interiors. The original tacked canvas construction further supports its early 20th-century origin.

A rare opportunity to acquire an exhibited work with documented museum exhibition history from one of Minneapolis’ important annual juried exhibitions.
