- Lot Description
James Edward Fitzgerald (American, 1899-1971)
Moonlit Gulls
Signed "James Fitzgerald" l.r., numbered "J-4752" on the reverse.
Mixed media including gouache and ink on paper, 22 3/8 x 29 in. (57.0 x 73.3 cm), in a frame hand-gilded by the artist.
Condition: Tack holes to lower corners, minor toning, reverse with masking tape along top and right edges and with minor staining and soiling.
N.B. The watercolor at hand was reviewed via high-resolution digital images by Robert Stahl of the James Fitzgerald Legacy and will be included in Volume II of the James Edward Fitzgerald Catalogue Raisonné, currently under preparation, with a focus on watercolors. Mr. Stahl dates this watercolor most likely to the 1960s.Condition
Condition: Framed dimensions are 25 1/4 x 31 3/4 x 1 1/2 inches.
Paper with Strathmore dry stamp. Framed so that the paper is sandwiched between the glass and the corrugated cardboard frame backing. The cardboard backing also is marked with the number "4752."
Robert Stahl noted that the work is not in the Fitzgerald Legacy database which means that the artist must have sold it during his lifetime and it did not pass through the estate. He also noted that the frame is special, one that the artist hand-gilded, and it should be preserved along with the watercolor.
