Lawrence Biddle, Pansies & Geraniums, Oil on Panel, Special Frame
Peso Priced Item. Lawrence was a prolific painter of flowers, especially pansies and geraniums.
The framing on this piece is exceptional! I had trouble getting clear photos because of the thick glass that causes reflections.
His works framed in this style of handmade frame have been the highest selling pieces at auction;
in 2022 two works in this frame design sold for $2400 and $2900 dollars.
Over all the frame measures 26 12/" by 24 1/2", the painting itself measures 14 1/4" by 12 1/2".
Signed in the lower right (barely visible at bottom edge of artwork) "Lawrence Biddle '28".
On the backside there is a label with a drawing of a butterlfy and the following information: Geraniums - Pansies - Virginia Stock - 1928 - Lawrence Biddle - 125.
Not sure why the paper label is there.
This is from my personal collection of art.
