Lovely 1890s Cornelia Chapin Moodey Watercolor Painting of Fountain in Maine or Northampton

This is a beautiful 1890s watercolor by Cornelia "Nel" Chapin Moodey of Maine. The painting shows a wooded area in the center of which appears a fountain borne upon the heads of rearing horses. From a tag attached to the reverse of the painting by one of Moodey's descendant's, it was rare for her to sign the painting as she did: NCM. Usually she would have signed in C.C.M. The painting has a lovely gilt matting and is in a period frame done by a Massachusetts framer.

Circa 1890s.

Approximately 22-3/4" in height by 17-3/4" in width.

Paper, glass, wood, metal.

NCM; .GEO N. LUCIA NORTHAMPTON MASS. framer tag; attached note by descendant.

8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The painting is in gorgeous condition aside from some moderate wear to the reverse only.
