Arthur Parton (American, 1842-1914) large painting on canvas depicting a sunset over an inlet. The scene is masterfully rendered with vibrant warm tones illuminating purple clouds against a blue sky, with the silhouette of a building atop a cliffside providing excellent contrast. The cliff leads into a calm body of water dancing with the reflections of the surrounding hues, a single sailboat coasting along the left. Signed and dated lower right.
Displayed in a magnificent gilt frame with beveled bands, beaded trims, and foliate relief around the perimeters. Affixed with a picture light at the top.

Canvas: 28" H x 44" W
