Original Oil on Canvas Painting of 6 Golfers Watching Red Jacket Golfer Tee Off - Framed
Painted depiction of historical 1855 golf image of Alan Robertson in a red coat (the golfer in the foreground), Willie Park Sr, Willie Dunn Sr., and three others. This oil on canvas contains oxidized irregular and inexact pegs on the backside securing it to the wood frame, a nod to the time period in which this was produced and originally exhibited. This well-known sepia photo has come to life on canvas with vibrant reds, blues and the yellow found in Robertson's hat. There were eight individuals in the original 1855 photo, with this featuring seven of those. Crazing is apparent on the surface, shown in photo 11 of the lot. Canvas has since been added to gold-tone frame. 28 1/2" x 20 1/2" (23 1/2" x 15 1/2")
