Study of a Winter Bog signed by Jane Collins Sellars (1980)
This is a framed original artwork, likely a pastel or mixed media piece, titled 'Study of a Winter Bog' as inscribed on the lower left of the white matting. The composition features a textured, impressionistic landscape depicting a snow-covered bog or marshland. The artist uses a sophisticated palette of winter whites, cool grays, and deep earthy tones, punctuated by small dabs of russet and red suggesting dormant vegetation or dried berries. The application appears impasto-like or heavily layered, creating a sense of movement along the shoreline and depth within the wooded area on the right. The piece is signed 'Jane Collins Sellars' and dated '1980' in pencil on the bottom right of the mat. It is presented in a white or off-white double mat and protected by glass. The overall craftsmanship suggests a high level of skill in capturing light and atmospheric conditions. The artwork appears to be in good vintage condition, though some internal reflections on the glass indicate it is currently in a residential setting. The frame is not fully visible but the matting shows clean lines typical of late 20th-century professional framing.
