3. Unknown Artist (American, Early 19th Century)

A Hudson River style painting. Oil on canvas, no signature found, canvas size approx. 30-1/4" x 42-1/4", in a period frame with a sand finished cove and corner ornaments, approx. 40" x 52". A panoramic view of a vast landscape surrounded by mountains. There are points of interest in the composition such as figures on a road and farm buildings. This well-painted piece comes from the Lillian Knight estate, an old Akron, Ohio estate, neighboring Stan Hywet. An interesting note is that when this painting came to auction it had never been out of its frame and was fit with hand-made square nails.
