Stansbury Norse O/B Painting
Wonderful small oil on board by Stansbury Norse, American
(1843-1911). Mr. Norse was the head of the art department at
Potsdam, NY High School for over twenty five years and was on
the executive board of the NY Art Dealers Association. The painting
is signed by Norse on the reverse side and dated 1876. The winter
twilight scene with a church with it's lights on, a boy and his
sled approaching a church, two figures outside the church and
an absolutely inviting late day winter sky, provide a very capturing
presentation on this work. When I first saw the painting it reminded
me of the hand of renown New Hope artist George Sotter who is
quite famous for his twilight and nighttime scenes. The painting
is in a later, period paint-decorated frame. Size - 8" x
10" sight.

likely French did not duplicate this work. Original paint decorated
