•  This richly colored artwork is an original “landscape” painting crafted on a plaque made from a slice or wedge of tree trunk, rimmed with its bark intact.  ... This particular scene harkens to the red-covered bridges and hilly terrain for which Vermont is known, although most vintage wood-slice paintings capture country scenes found in the Western states.
  •  The artist, named “Richter,” signed this piece in 1955 (artist’s hand-scripted details appear on back). ...
  • The artwork’s painted surface is remarkably well-preserved, considering its age, and the painting’s colors remain vibrant; the tree-wedge’s bark, which provides a natural frame for the artwork, still retains its original varnish.
