Original Double-sided Oil on Canvas by Chris Ritter (1906-1976)
Haunting portrait by listed artist, Chris Ritter (1906-1976). A “mistake” landscape on verso only adds to the allure of this piece (it’s likely that the artist was unhappy with it and reused the stretched canvas). Signed on bottom right. The condition of the canvas and style lead us to believe that this would date to the 1940-60’s, but we cannot be sure.
Ritter is a listed artist, whose work has been exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum, Worcester Art Museum and Whitney Museum of American Art, among others. Provenance is traced to the estate of Jane P. Ritter, his wife, of Ogunquit, Maine (where C. Ritter lived at the time of his death).
Due to size/weight, this item is available for local pick-up and delivery only.
Dimensions [30” high x 20” across x 1” deep]
