Janet Gaynor (1906-1984) won the very first Academy Award for Best Actress and walked away from Hollywood at her peak; in her second life she became a serious oil painter of vegetable and flower still lifes, selling 200+ paintings and exhibiting at Wally Findlay Galleries (New York, Chicago, Palm Beach) between 1975 and 1982. The gallery card from one of those exhibitions is still sleeved on the back of this piece, and the brass plaque, linen liner, and carved frame are her original gallery presentation. Her auction record stands at $2,390, and the vegetable subjects are the ones collectors look for first. See less
