Oil on Canvas of Waterfalls and Fisherman

Very fine oil on canvas of waterfalls and a person who might be a fisherman by Ambrose Andrews, signed by him and dated 1851.  Andrews was an itinerant artist who painted throughout many parts of the United States in the early to mid 1800s.  He was active in New York State after 1844 and this painting was almost certainly done there although the specific location is unknown.  His work is on display in the collection of the New York Historical Society.  Frame is of the period but probably not original.  Outer dimensions are 20 1/2" wide by 12 1/2" high. Sight area 15 1/2" wide by 7 3/4" high.  All original.  (BM-14)
