Poignant Vintage Folk Art Painting of Washington Monument, Signed E.C. Sullivan old maid prize and the first I've seenI love this painting, and seems a good time for reflecting in the reflecting pool (and on the Capital and Lincoln memorial too.) And it seems especially apt that the iconic obelisk be represented as pointing almost equally in polar opposite directions. Folky and poignant and I think just right. Framed, as found, which I think suits it well: 13 1 2" x 11 1 2". Sight: 9 1 2" x 7 1 2". Very good condition. Signed EC Sullivan at lower right.
