FRANK CRAWFORD PENFOLD Five o'clock tea in the studio, Buffalo New York Oil on canvas Signed 81.5 x 102cmExhibited in March 1902 at the Buffalo Society of Artists.Six notable members of Buffalo society take tea in the Artist's studio.From left to right: The artist Burr H. Nichols conversing with Mrs. Penfold, the artist's wife. Mrs. George Howard Bush presiding over the tea urn, Miss Emily Gray, Mrs. Edwin Fleming and Mr. George Hibbard the writer, on the extreme left. Provenance, from the estate of Major Charles St. John Colthurst (1904-1985) whose mother, Emma Susan Uebelher, was from Buffalo New York, thence by family decent to the present vendor. Being sold with the painting is a pair of lorgnettes. Family legend has it that these are the same pair being held by Mr Hibbard in the picture.(See cover illustration - detail) Condition report: Upper third of canvas in good condition. Lower two-thirds suffers from a degree of flaking and minor paint loss, particularly to the bottom edge where there has been some overpainting to mask paint loss.From the back can be seen one patch covering an area of repair approximately one and a half inches square.To conclude: The painting needs some restoration. In it's favour, there is virtually no overpainting or restoration to 95% of the image.
