This painting was purchased by my Mother in the 1960s from a friend artist, Emile C Nizet. She has several of his paintings. This one is the largest. It is 50" wide by 30" canvas size in a elaborate wood frame. There is also a light that illuminates it. She is the only one that owned it.
This painting has never been exhibited. My Mother bought it directly from the painter which was an acquaintance of hers.
