Seascape by Anton Gutknecht
19 September 2020
Description

A nice framed landscape painting. It has a bunch of waves splashing on a beach and rocks at dusk. The painting itself is 47x23 and the frame around it measures 50x27. It looks old, I don’t think it’s on canvas, it’s more of a hardboard, I don’t know if Gutknecht used hardboard.

Provenance

My aunt passed it down to us after we cleaned out her house for her to move to an assisted living. She lived in San Francisco for many years in her earlier years.
