Description

This pastel on canvas has been in my family for over 100 years. It was done by my grandmother's step brother (Fred Hollis) who was born in 1881. My grandmother said he was in his early 20's when he did this picture. It is in very good shape for it's age with very little staining. It does have some fraying around the edges of the canvas. There is no signature visible.
