Folk Art Painted Hunt Scene
 
A marvelous folk art painting depicting a hunt scene, with two pointer
dogs flushing fowl in the foreground and a hunter standing intently in
the distance. The painting is titled "Alert" and dated 1902, and signed
by Allan Mann. We believe this is the same Allan Mann who was owner of
the hotel Albert House in Chatham, New Brunswick circa 1905. He had
moved to Miramachi from Newfoundland a few years prior. The interior
walls of his hotel were decorated with works of marine and animal life
that he'd done. This is a good size work at 21" x 27", and it's likely
the finest example of maritime folk painting we've had the opportunity
to handle.
Dimensions: 21"x27"
