On the reverse of a color photograph of the painting, which accompanies the lot, Maybelle Mann states: Painting mint condition, framed under glass, in original frame. A very fine example of the work of Walter Launt Palmer. This winter landscape 25x30 oil on canvas is ca. 1890-1910. His "thin" signature is typical of this era. Mrs. Mann coauthored the definitive catalogue raisonné of the artist's work, Walter Launt Palmer: Poetic Reality, published by Schiffer Publishing in 1984. The painting is unpublished.
