American School, 20th Century Summer Lake with View to a Mountain

Description:

American School, 20th Century

Summer Lake with View to a Mountain. Signed and dated "...Foster/1944" l.r. Oil on canvas mounted to panel, 14 x 18 in., framed. Condition: Minor surface grime, small transfer of gold from frame along top edge.

N.B. The work has an information sheet on the artist "R. John Foster" affixed to the backing. However, the signature style does not seem to match examples of R. John Foster's signature available online. The first initial of the signature appears to be an "A" or an "H," or possibly two letters closely elided, such as "FF."
Estimate $250-350
