It is big, a little over three feet each way, and it will be the first thing anyone sees in the room. For a nursery, or the one wall in a new house that needs something old.

Oil on heavy cotton canvas, on its wooden stretchers. Signed lower left and dated 1913. We have found no record of the painter. It is a copy of a French academic painting of a sleeping cupid that was widely reproduced around 1900, painted by hand in 1913. An old gallery label is on the back.

Canvas 38 x 40 in. About 7 lb unframed.

Framing is included. The painting is shown unframed. Before it ships we frame it in the finish you choose (gilt, black, dark wood, or tell us what the room needs), at no added cost. Framing adds about a week. It arrives wired, with hardware.

Condition: very good for its age. Light abrasions in the area of the tree trunks. No tears, no mildew, no odor.

What we know: it came from an estate in Pennsylvania. What we do not: who the painter was. See less
