EVARTS [USA], OIL ON CANVAS, 1922, H 40" W 48", YOUNG FARM BOY: Signed and dated at the lower right. Depicting a young boy with fishing pole, walking in a rural landscape. Framed under glass.  Was from the Whittier Hotel Detroit, Detroit, MI (stamped on verso see photo detail).

Condition

Nice light-filled painting with good detail like an illustrator would do.  Under UV light in the unopened frame:  UV clean; under glass with a spacer between the glass and the painting; overall, noticeable, unstable craquelure; sporadic small flecks of paint loss throughout most of the painting, but very little of this in the boy and no paint loss in his face; not lined or patched; frame slightly nicked.
