Elsie Crowell 'Harbor Scene' (Signed) - This oil painting on canvas by artist Elsie Crowell depicts a coastal harbor scene, likely in a New England setting. The composition features a central building with a prominent bright red roof adjacent to a dark, weathered wooden structure, both set behind a rustic blue-and-brown picket fence. In the background, the masts of sailboats and a small American flag are visible against a pale, overcast sky and calm water. The work is executed with impressionistic brushwork and rich impasto. The painting is signed ELSIE CROWELL in the lower right corner. It is housed in an ornate, wide-profile carved and gilded wooden frame with repeating scroll and oval motifs. The reverse features a cardboard backing with handwritten notations including 150.00, 12/20, and 25. Sight: 19.5 x 15.5 in. Frame: 26.5 x 22.5 in.
