Vintage Artist Bessie Pease Gutmann Hand Colored Print Titled A Chilly Day With Dark Wood Frame Featuring A Woman Tending A Fire An exquisite addition to any dcor. This listing is for a artist signed Bessie Pease Gutmann hand colored print titled A Chilly Day which is in a dark wood frame. It portrays a woman tending a fire in her home. According to Wikipedia Bessie Pease Gutmann (1876 - 1960) was an American artist & illustrator, most noted for her paintings of putti, infants, & young children. During the early 1900s she was one of the better-known magazine & book illustrators in the United States. Her artwork was featured on 22 magazine covers such as Woman's Home Companion & McCall's between 1906 & 1920. She also illustrated popular children's books including a notable 1907 edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Although the commercial popularity of Gutmann's art declined during World War II, there was renewed interest in her illustrations from collectors by the late 20th century. The frame is 15 1/4 by 12 3/8 by 3/4, the actual print is 4 3/4 by 7 & is in good vintage condition - there are no marks or rips no the print & the signature & title are easily read, but the frame has some scratches & the matting (or possible the glass) is dirty & has things between the glass & mat (please see photos). Also, the wire to hang the print is on the wrong side (the frame should be hung as a landscape, but the wire hangs it as a portrait). Please look closely at the pictures as they ARE the description!
