Robert Burns Wilson pastel - Kentucky
Est: -
Robert Burns Wilson pastel - Kentucky Pastel on paper of a creek scene in a wooded area at dawn or dusk. Signed to viewer's lower right in red, "Robert Burns Wilson". Nice clean image free of toning which is too often found on his works. This, a deaccession from "Ashland". Too late to have belonged to Henry Clay, possibly left by a descendant. Excellent condition in what is probably the original oak lightly gilded frame, a frame preference of the artist. Probably a Bluegrass scene painted within the last quarter of the 19th century. 9 3/8" x 13 ½" framed to 22 ½" x 26 ½".
