It is from a New Hampshire theater and dates to the 1920's or perhaps earlier. It fills the wall in the dining area of my loft and when my friends come for dinner I tell them that we will dine in the Italian garden. It has water stains and a tear or two but all of that only adds to its beauty. It's about 14x14. fills the whole wall. I was told that it might be a Maxfield Parrish but I cant say it is, but if I imagine what it looked like when it was fresh before fading and water stains I can see how that might be possible. he summered in Plainfield New Hampshire and did paintings for the theater there, but so did other artists of the time.Many New York School artists spent the summer there. whoever did it ...it has been a joy to look at all these years.
