Description
Pastel on paper with double mat in modern frame. Shows an empty canoe-like craft drifting along the bank of the Susquehanna River near Columbia, PA with the sun setting (or rising) on the horizon.
There are various pieces of information written on the back, including the title and date of the painting: "Sundown--Susquehanna River c. 1870 / Columbia, Lancaster County, Pa." The back also lists the provenance: "Presented to John H. Libhart / Family in 1948 by Grace & Loretta Minich, / Inheritors of the Mifflin Estate." This contradicts a notarized statement from the donor in the object file which states the title is "Sunrise".
Provenance
