I picked this up at Goodwill the other day for five bucks. There are a few Mary Hamilton’s out there that produce art including a lady who worked for Hallmark cards for 60 years. But I am 90% sure this is the work of the Canadian Mary Hamilton. She lived from the 1860s to the 1950s. She had a very successful and prolific career. Canada considers her their first female artist. They sent her to Europe after World War I to paint all of the destruction. She produced over 350 paintings from the war. Some of her paintings sell for upwards of $50,000.
A lot of them are priced between five and $10,000. This painting has a note on the back. It was written by Mary’s grandson or granddaughter. The painting was done for somebody named uncle Bill, Which I guess would be Mary’s son or nephew. And it was done early in her career when she was going by Mary Matilda Hamilton, not Mary Riter Hamilton. If I indeed have the right Mary Hamilton, this painting is going to pay nicely. Not only is it a nice piece of work, but it was done for a family member, and has a handwritten note from another family member on the back. Collectors love stuff like this. When it sells, I’ll let you guys know what I got for it.
