| 109. John White Abbot (British, 1763-1851)
"The Dormition of the Virgin", pencil on paper after the original oil painting by Carlo Veneziano Saraceni (Italian, 1579-1620). Several distraught people have gathered around the Virgin and are mourning her death. The religious subject matter is not typical of Abbot, who is better known for his ink drawings of landscapes and figures. Matted and framed under glass. The frame is an attractive gold and black frame. Apprx 19"x 18-1/4 overall and image size is 12-1/2" x 11-3/4". On verso are several framing stickers from the Chestnut Hill Framing, Massachusetts. 1,000/2,000 Sold $632.50 back to catalog |
