Completely Luminous c. 1920s-30s Oil on Wood Panel, F. Norton Genser man with hat Figure himself and existing boxNo filter, as they say the sky here just glows, though there is a greater delicacy to the color, and nuance to the painting as a whole in person (there's a special quality to an oil painting on wood that seems to elude documentation).

Norton Gesner (1876 1955), a Hartford,
