| Original bird's-eye painting of a formal garden in springtime, possibly a section of a New York City park or botanical garden. Lovingly detailed rendering in earth tones, greens and pinks, with statue, topiary trees cut in the shape of candy canes, a lattice gate, tulips and flowering trees. Wheelbarrows and tools await the return of a gardener on the lawn in the foreground. The painting is executed in an illustration-art style typical of the mid 20th century. Inscribed in pencil "Joe Braswell Adv. II," possibly in relation to a client or advertising agency. |

Formal garden with flowering trees, possibly cherry or crabapple, and a small brown cottage. The painting is labeled "C.A. Loescher Section I," possibly a section of a New York City park or botanical garden. Detailed rendering in an illustration-art style typical of the mid 20th century.
Condition: Generally very good with the usual overall light toning and wear. Boards slightly warped. Masking tape and masking tape residue in margins can be matted out. |
