Signed and Dated 1962, Paris. Canvas measures 39 1/2" x 25 3/4;" Frame is 46 1/4" x 32 1/2." There are two 1" blemishes on the canvas and a very light vertical crease telegraphing the stretcher. There is a Hammer Galleries, New York Stamp on back of the frame. Included with the painting is a book by Noyer which contains a photograph of this painting.
"Maggie" or "Margaret Gilchrist" has been written on reverse on the stretcher. The back of the canvas is imprinted R.L. & G. Drake, Artists Depot, Troy NY. Canvas measures 18" x 15." Frame is 22 3/4" x 21."
The board measures 16” tall and 19 3/4” wide. The sides have been cut at an irregular angle in places, probably by Payne himself prior to framing the piece. Even after viewing the painting under black light, the only notable flaw is the 2 1/2” splatter of pink paint apparent in the photographs. The piece will likely need cleaning, but that will be left to the buyer’s discretion. The frame that accompanies the painting will be shipping with the artwork.
Painting is of houses and boats on a river. Signed Sujarit '76 in right-hand corner and also on back of canvas, dated March, 1976. Canvas measures 24" x 28." Very good condition.
