Ornately framed watercolor in the style of and in tribute to French artist Jean Dufy entitled "Les Musiciens," artist unknown. Dufy (1888-1964) painted a series featuring clown-like musicians with various instruments, and this work recombines several familiar elements, preserving his jaunty and colorful jazz era energy. The 3D acanthus and scroll wood and gesso frame is artfully painted gold antiqued by reddish brown, showing a few bumped areas but no missing or damaged pieces. The frame measures 32.75" W x 28.5" H x 3" D, with a 23" x 19" image under glass and a brass tribute plate on a canvas inset.
