Guy Carleton Wiggins, N.A. (American, 1883-1962) "Midtown, 5th Avenue, Winter" oil on canvas signed lower left, signed and titled en verso. Framed. 18" x 12-1/4" Provenance: James D. Julia Auctioneers, Fairfield, Maine, February 4, 2010, lot 1118.
Estimate $ 20,000-40,000 **In overall good condition. There is a pinhead-sized loss (flake) to pigment in the second flag on the right with some light resultant craquelure in the flag and the one above it. Neither the loss nor the craquelure is readily visible without UV light. There is a minute loss to the lower right corner. On the back, three of the stretched corners have small holes, which is to be expected with age and medium.
