My photos here and not especially good, but I love this George, and he's pretty regal against this golden ground! And, it appears that William Jones who proudly signed the back in 1932 put a great deal of effort into carving that texture into the wood, which the whole picture is make of, leaving just the silhouette of George and his horse flat/smooth (outlined with incising), to which were then applied black and creamy white paint, with graphite drawn details added. The rendering immediately made me think of Spencerian calligraphic drawings of Washington--I can't find the particular published example I'm thinking of but have included a couple of related examples. I purchased this from a Texas-based dealer at the Rhinebeck show; feels like I can't get enough of old patriotic folk these days embodying pride in a different sort of America.
19 1/4” x 16 1/8”. Good condition, framed as found, under glass, with tape on the back holding it in the frame (as found).
