Original Signed Oil Painting, circa 1916. Artist signed – Perrie

I found what I believe to possibly be a very rare original antique painting by American artist BERTHA EVERSFIELD PERRIE (1860 – 1921).  

After much extensive research, I believe this to be a work by this artist because, firstly,  it is handsigned by Perrie, and also the landscape theme and the painting style very much resemble other works by Perrie.   

Bertha E. Perrie   Born 1916 : Washington, District of Columbia Died 1868: Gloucester, Massachusetts.    Perrie works are exhibited at the Smithsonian American Art Museum - Library of the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution.

If you are an avid collector of Fine Antique Art and/or are familiar with this artist, and if in fact this is an authentic original Perrie, this old painting will be of special interest as it is a most beautiful rendering.   For more photographs and information, go to my Ebay link at right.

Some of her other works include:  The Butter Market - Interior of a Church-  Porte du Jerzual, Dinan – Portrait of a Bearded Man – and more.
