Description
Original hand-colored photograph by Wallace Nutting depicting a pastoral landscape with a small stream or pool flowing through a grassy field. A prominent tree with pink or purple blossoms stands on the left, while a tall, slender tree rises on the right. The photograph is signed by the artist and framed. Wallace Nutting (1861–1941) was an American minister, photographer, and entrepreneur known for popularizing the Colonial Revival style through his hand-colored photographs and reproduction furniture. His idealized New England landscapes and interior scenes were widely collected in the early 20th century and remain a significant part of American photographic history. Dimensions: 9.5" H x 7.5" W. Good condition.
