19th Century Painting of Island Lighthouse, signed E. Chase

19th Century Painting of Island Lighthouse in Maine, signed E. Chase, an oil on board folk art painting of what appears to be Nash Island Light in Maine with square light tower, A-frame bell tower and keeper’s cottage on narrow spit of land, signed in the lower right barely legibly E____ Chase. Although there is a strong resemblance to an early light on Brant Point (Nantucket), this is pretty surely a view of the Down East light built in 1873, with the iron top present in the painting added in 1874.

The painting remains in fine condition, and in original frame. The colors would likely pop with a professional cleaning.

Measures: 13 in H x 20-1/2 in W x 1 in Deep
