Frederick Chapman. Silhouette Of A Young Girl. Painted, full-length, left-profile silhouette of a young girl reaching out to a bird in a bush. At upper left is "Salem / 1779." Beautifully executed on 5½ x 4½ paper. There is some fading to the girl's skirt and writing at lower right is too faded to read; also, a thin tear in paper at lower right. A polaroid of the back of the silhouette, not visible in the frame, says that Frederick Chapman was the artist and that it was taken from life. Housed in the original, gilt-painted wooden frame, with minor nicks. Overall size is 7¼ x 6½ in.
Estimated Value $250 - 350.
