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.
