Dawson Dawson-Watson (MO/TX, 1864-1939), Cacti

Oil on canvas laid on board, signed and dated at lower right "Dawson-Watson '34," presented in the likely original frame.

SS 16 x 12 in.; DOA 25.5 x 21.5 in.

A similar composition by Dawson-Watson sold at David Dike Fine Art on January 19, 2013, lot 109 for $24,500. As that painting was completed in 1939 and was of a slightly larger size, the painting presented here was likely a study for that work.

Surface grime; glued to board; minor scuffs to image.

$6,000 - 9,000
