Description

Collectible Mount Vernon Original Painting on a Small Wood Footstool ---- painting of the east facade of President George Washington's Mount Vernon ------ by an Alexandria / Mount Vernon, Virginia artist, Sue (Susan) McConville
All of the art work and collectibles being sold by Adams-Byrd Fine Arts & Antiques have been collected and selected one at a time by the proprietor, an art historian with many years of training and experience in university art history departments, museums, galleries, and historic sites both in the U.S. and abroad.  The business has been based in the Washington, D.C. area for many years.  The art and collectibles that we are offering to eBay buyers are special and unique pieces that have been carefully “curated” by us.
If you love Mount Vernon, this is the ultimate collector's item ----- a small wood footstool hand painted with a scene of the east facade (facing the Potomac River) of Mount Vernon.  This is a great display piece.  You can also be creative and use it somewhere other than on the floor. It can be a terrace / platform on a piece of furniture or on a bookcase (on which you can display other objects, using it as a stand).
It is signed with initials in the lower right corner of the scene.  Sue McConville, the artist, lives near the Mount Vernon estate in the Mount Vernon area of Alexandria, Virginia.
If you like genuine / authentic / original mementos of historic American landmarks (and especially those connected with U.S. presidents), this is definitely in a league of its own.  This usable folk art original is ready to serve as a small accent piece of furniture in your home or office.
The footstool is just over 7 3/4" tall.  The top is 11 1/8" x 10 7/8" (across) and just over 5/8" thick.
The red color of the border of the scene matches the red roof.  The outer perimeter of the top and the edges are "sponged" green.  The base is a yellowish green.
There are rubs / abrasions / scratches.  One edge of the top has more rubs through the green paint than the other three edges.
Apparently we did not get all the dust off before we photographed it; we will wipe off all of the dust before it is packed and shipped.
All items we sell are from a pet free and smoke free environment – unless prior owner history is noted above.
