Alexander Drysdale, Louisiana Bayou1920 – 1930

(Sorry for the reflections in the glass.) Alexander Drysdale painted this iconic Louisiana bayou scene on board rather than the usual oil wash on paper, giving it a vividness you do not often see in his paintings (which can actually sometimes be a bit washed-out or too murky). I stay away from the more insipid ones, and this is really fine one, head and shoulders above most. (If you want to jump up a level, we also have a rare oil on canvas of camps along Lake Pontchartrain listed here on 1stDibs.) Signed lower left, “W.E. Seebold” label and inscribed en verso, 20 in. x 30 in., framed. Proudly offered by Guy Lyman Fine Art of New Orleans, with our firm guarantee.
