Original painting by U.S. Naval Officer John Packard Graff, signed and dated
1929, showing a Northern coastal scene rendered in deep blues. Supremely
atmospheric painting, beautifully composed. slightly reminiscent of Rockwell
Kent. I gathered from the dealer who sold this to me that Graff was a world
traveler and had also attended West Point. Oil measures 9” by 6”. Total
dimensions, with gilt decorative frame with handpainted blue border, are 14.5”
by 11.5”.
This artwork continues to land on people's watch lists, and yet I'm flummoxed
as to why no one has made an offer on it, especially considering that I have
sold quite a lot of items through "make an offer."
