Nov 14 Auction Item Preview: Excellent original oil painting by world renowned American artist Seymour Joseph Guy. Features a beautiful, well dressed woman on a carpeted outdoor balcony with the North Star shining over the water behind her. Most likely a ship captains wife waiting for his return. SJ Guy is one of the best American genre painters of the 19th C. His most expensive paintings generally involve children as subjects. Of all the non child paintings I have been able to find, this is by far the best. In both subject and quality. A great chance to own a fine original painting by an important American artist.
