Great news! All orders from my shop that total $35 or more get free shipping to the US!! Check out the rest of my shop to mix & match items: https://themagicwithin.etsy.com I recently came across this fabulous oil painting at a local estate sale. It is an original work of art by American artist, Mildred Barrett. Barrett is a well exhibited New York artist with many artworks in private collections throughout the US & many parts of the world. Her art was permanently showcased at the famous Nena's Choice Gallery in Bergdorf Goodman in New York. Her unique, impressionist style of women & children surrounded by floral accents is created in a heavy thick paint. Earlier in her career, her palette was primarily darker colors & evolved in the 1970's to brighter colors. Based on this, I believe this painting is one of her earlier works. The painting features a mother in a blue dress sitting on a gray bench. She is holding her child in her lap, & they are gazing at red & white flowers. The frame is a heavy gold painted wooden frame. The canvas area measures 9" x 12". The overall frame measures 14-3/4" x 11-3/4". Signed Barrett in the lower right-hand corner. The stretcher frame is marked Anco Bilt 12. It is tagged on the back "Charles Z Mann Gallery" in New York & indicates the title is "Mother & Child". Shipping will include insurance. Please Note: All of the items that I sell in my shop are vintage items. By Etsy's standards, items that are at least 20 years old are considered vintage. I source items from local estate sales, thrift shops & garage sales. I am not an expert on the history of any items I source, so I do online research to try to learn more about their history. The description in my listings represents what I have learned about the items through online research. Some items are hard to date to a specific year. If my research leads me to believe that the item is from the early 2000's or earlier, I list it & classify it as vintage. Vintage items are all pre-owned. As such, they have varying signs of use. I strive to honestly represent my items, so will do my best to detail major condition issues & try to show them in the photos. However, buyers should anticipate all items showing signs of former use, which may include but is not limited to stains, tears, scuffs, chips, missing embellishments, prior repairs & general wear & tear. Buyers should review the entire description, video & all photos prior to purchasing. If you have any questions or would like additional pictures prior to making a purchase, please message me. Vintage reselling is a wonderful way to Reduce-Reuse-Recycle. I extend this practice into my shipping process by reusing shipping materials whenever practical. Thanks so much for checking out my shop! Vintage Original Mildred Barrett Oil Painting "Mother & Child" Portrait Size 9" X 12" Ornate Gold Toned Frame Signed By Artist
