Up for sale is a fantastic oil on canvas by well known and listed artist George Gustav Adomeit (1879-1967). This is, by his standards, a large piece measuring approximately 26 x 30. Including the frame the overall measurements are approximately 29 x 33. The painting is titled "Low Tide" and shows a fisherman with boats. Great coloring as is typical of his work. It is signed and dated to 1925 and titled in a plaque at the bottom. I believe this painting was shown... at the Cleveland Museum of Art in the early 1930s but can only ascertain that Adomeit displayed an oil on canvas with a similar title and date then as I can find no photo.
Adomeit was in Germany (present day Lithuania) but moved at a young age to Cleveland where he attended the Cleveland School of the Arts. He is perhaps best known for his coastal New England Scenes of which the painting listed here is a fine example. His work is in museums and collections around the world and he has a strong auction record.
Overall the painting is in very good condition with some cracking towards the top in the sky (see photos) Otherwise it is in beautiful condition. Painting was recently professionally cleaned but no touch ups or damage corrected with in painting was made. Frame is in nice shape, with some scratches and dings.
