Forest landscape watercolor, possibly by John Fery (signed “J. Fery”)
07 June 2025
Description

This is a framed watercolor landscape of a wooded scene with a pond or reflective water area at the bottom. The piece appears to be signed in the bottom-left corner as “J. Fery,” possibly an original by John Fery (1859–1934), a known Austrian-American painter. The frame is a dark-stained, quarter-sawn oak in the Arts & Crafts style, possibly original to the early 20th century. The backing has old, rusty brads or nails and a heavily aged paperboard, but no labels or markings. The painting has a serene, atmospheric tone and strong similarities to other verified Fery works, particularly in brushwork and composition. No animals or figures are present — just forest, soft light, and water. I’d like to confirm whether this could be attributed to John Fery and, if so, what the estimated value range might be. Overall condition is good, with some age-related patina on the backing.
