SHENANDOAH VALLEY OF VIRGINIA FOLK ART TOWN SCENE, oil on canvas, featuring a horse and rider at a railroad crossing overlooking a town with what may be a courthouse and other municipal buildings nestled in a mountain valley, no signature located. Housed in an old frame. Fourth quarter 19th century. 11 3/4" x 14 3/4" sight, 14 1/4" x 17 1/4" OA.
Catalogue Note: The mountain formation in the background of the picture appears to be Signal Knob at the northern peak of Massanutten Mountain. If this is true, one could assume that this is a view of Strasburg, VA looking east. Another possibility is that this town is Front Royal, looking south towards what is now the entrance to Skyline Drive where, in the distance, roads 522 and 340 split around the mountain's base. Additionally, it could be Luray, looking west viewing a slightly-stylized depiction of Massanutten Mountain. Of course, one must also consider the artist may have taken some artistic liberties, and the buildings depicted may not be in their actual placement.
Good overall condition with minor to moderate discoloration and craquelure, heavier to sky with small surface losses. Frame with minor wear.
From the collection of Benny Long, New Market, VA.
