Street in Provincetown
Signed lower right: Meeser
Description
Street in Provincetown exemplifies the bold brushwork and vibrant colors Meeser often painted with, depicting the trees in patches of blues and greens and the passersby in broad, gestural strokes. Sunlight floods the painting, and even the shadows are cast in lighter tones with rich purples, blues, and reds popping throughout the composition.
Provenance
Private collection, Cape Cod, Massachusetts
Inscriptions
