Description

Original hand-colored photograph titled "Slack Water" by American artist Wallace Nutting. The artwork depicts a serene landscape featuring a calm river or stream flowing through grassy banks. The water is dotted with lily pads and reflects the surrounding lush trees and foliage. The photograph is signed by the artist and framed. Wallace Nutting (1861–1941) was an American minister, photographer, and entrepreneur celebrated for popularizing the Colonial Revival style through his hand-colored photographs and reproduction furniture. His idealized New England landscapes and interiors were widely collected in the early 20th century and remain an important part of American photographic history. Dimensions: 12" W x 8" H. Good condition.
