Franklin Van Court WPA Era Illinois Artist Men on Industrial Ship Ink Wash 1934

Description

Wonderful Franklin Van Court ink wash drawing of two men standing on an industrial ship/ Barge. WPA era. Dated 1934. Very well done. Size of the work is 10.5X8 inches. It is housed in a very dark brown wooden frame. Size with the frame is 20X18.5 inches. Has one very tiny visible rip on the upper right hand corner. Probably because the work was done on sketch paper. Very detailed. He exhibited in the 1930s at the Art Institute of Chicago but not much is known about him. A wonderful and rare piece for any serious art collection.
