A small unframed painting of a creek or pond in the forest, 3 3/4" by 5 1/2", signed at lower right and dated 1918 by early San Francisco artist ALICE MEUSSDORFFER (1871-1949). The work, roughly the size of an index card, is painted in oil on a thin card laid on a thicker card. Meussdorffer was born in San Francisco in 1871, the daughter of a well-known hat maker. A student of well-known and influential Bay Area artist William Keith, she was most active as a painter around the turn of the century, turning later in life to becoming a florist. She evidently cultivated dahlias and published some books on their cultivation and competitive display. The Hughes California art dictionary states that the artist's works are rare, and when encountered are most often still life of fruit or flowers. Provenance: longtime San Francisco art dealer John Worley.
