Eliot O'Hara: New York Harbor, October 1947 Watercolor Painting















This watercolor painting of the New York Harbor by Eliot O'Hara is in excellent condition. The painting has no fading wear or damage. It is 15.5 inches by 21.5 inches. The frame is 23.5 inches by 29.5 inches. It has a bit of wear to the finish but is still quite sturdy. The painting is signed in two places -- the lower left and the lower right, and they are both dated 1948. 

On the back there is the original paper label that says it was actually painted in October of 1947 and that the original price was $300. In the upper left corner on the back it has a hand-written note that it sold for $1500 in California in 1991

This painting is well-documented. Eliot O'Hara is a renowned watercolor artist who lived from 1890 to 1969. This painting is a wonderful image of the New York Harbor and a perfect example of his style. The colors are soft yet boldly brushed in greys, blues, and browns. The image has wonderful brooding clouds moving in with a long cargo ship in the foreground. This is a fabulous painting for any fan of Eliot O'Hara or of the city of New York.
