Description
Oil on canvas landscape painting by Jackson, Michigan artist Henry Schafer depicting a breezy shoreline scene with gulls gathered along the sand beneath a dramatic cloud-filled sky. The composition features a large windswept tree at right with a distant shoreline and waterline stretching across the horizon, rendered in expressive brushwork and soft natural tones. Signed “Schafer” at upper right. Presented on a stretcher with Art Institute of Chicago–style stamped stretcher bars visible on the reverse, measuring approximately 20 x 24 inches. From the estate of the Jackson artist whose works were frequently displayed and sold through Schafer’s Cleaners in downtown Jackson during the mid-20th century. A strong regional Michigan landscape example from the artist’s body of work.
