Description

First up is the crown jewel of this lot: a large framed print of the Christ Child by listed American artist Florence Kroger, printed on linen-textured canvas and housed in a simple gold frame. The piece measures approximately 21 inches tall and features a luminous halo-crowned child with soulful eyes that will follow you across the room. A framer's label from F. Tonini and Son of Louisville, Kentucky on the verso places this piece firmly in the mid-20th century Louisville art scene, adding wonderful local provenance. Condition shows age-appropriate toning but the image remains vivid and striking.

Next is a beautifully rendered oil-style portrait of the Mater Dolorosa, the grieving Virgin Mary depicted in profile with a white veil beneath a deep purple mantle and a single tear on her cheek. Set in an ornate gold gesso frame with scrolling foliate detail, this piece measures approximately 16 by 19 inches framed and carries a label from Norman Glass Co. Pictures and Frames, 4206 Shelbyville Road, Louisville 7, KY on the back. The painting has rich warm tones and confident brushwork consistent with a mid-century devotional oil on board. A genuinely lovely piece with serious decorative presence.

Rounding out this heavenly trio is a sweet small oval framed print of the classic Guardian Angel scene, depicting a winged angel watching over two children crossing a perilous bridge. Set behind convex glass in a petite gold oval frame measuring approximately 9 inches tall, this charming piece is the quintessential Victorian-era devotional image that graced countless Catholic homes across America. Condition is good with minor age wear to the frame consistent with its vintage origins.
