Hobart Nichols (American, 1869-1962). "Sunlight on Snow" oil on canvas, ca. 1940s to 1950s. Signed on lower right. A stunning landscape painting by Hobart Nichols, finely executed in his signature realist style with a masterful treatment of light and color. Nichols invites the viewer into this wintery New England scene via a sinuous running river flanked by snowy banks dotted by mature trees, leading the eye to rolling hills in the distance and billowing clouds in the azure skies above. A tranquil winter scene with natural light softly illuminating the snow and waters, mounted in an attractive custom frame. Size (sight view): 23.25" L x 29.125" W (59.1 cm x 74 cm) Size (frame): 30" L x 36.5" W (76.2 cm x 92.7 cm)
