Very nice old Original American oil painting! Vintage, Old, Antique, Original - NOT a Reproduction - Guaranteed !! From a prominent local estate in Rochester NY. Upstate NY. Ms. Chase was born ca. 1900, and was known in her day as a promising artist. Impressionist style. I have not done much research on her - just some information I have in the archive. She belonged to the Rochester Art Club, and I believe, studyied at RIT. Her oil paintings are characterized by broad, flowing brushstrokes, similar to those of William Merritt Chase (who she may be related to - I have not done much research on her). Her portraits are full of character and expression. The oil on canvas in the current auction is of a young man. Signed Virginia R. Chase at lower right corner. I have other works of her's that are signed in full. Her name in pencil on back. The work measures 16 x 20 - unstretched canvas. Good condition. See photos below - NOTE: Looks better than shown below. If you collect 19th / 20th century Americana art history, portrait / figure painting, etc. this is a very nice one! Perhaps some genealogy importance as well. Add this to your fine art collection. Winning bidder pays 14.50 s/h and insurance. Combine shipping on multiple bid wins! insurance is extra, international s/h is more.  No reserve Good luck.
