Moody and intriguing antique "Colorado Canyon" oil painting on canvas, signed "Starr" in the lower left and loosely clamped into an ornate vintage wood frame. Pencilling on the back canvas frame repeats information pencilled on the spotty reverse canvas, including the date, July 8, 1898, the title "Colorado Canyon," and a note, "From Wilkins & Tabor's Paintings," referring to a Seattle and later Albany, Oregon studio that offered oil painting courses of 100 lessons. Another undeciphered line on the canvas may indicate a previous owner. A small scratch or possibly line of degraded varnish is shown along one tree. The outer frame has some bumps and small marks but is in very good vintage condition. It measures 18" W x 24" H x 2.5" D, and the canvas itself measures 12" x 18". Please see photos for more detail.
