Paul King, a well-known impressionist hailing from New York and Pennsylvania, had a unique and lush impressionistic style to his work. This painting was likely executed while in Nova Scotia, a place he often visited. It is signed on the lower left.
The canvas has been relined and cleaned. There is only a partial signature at the bottom left.
The painting came into the owner's family from the estate of Irving M Swezey of Port Jefferson, Long Island, NY. The owner's maternal grandfather was the town obstetrician, and Sweezey bequeathed his Oak St house and contents, including the paintings & antiques to him. It's not certain, but it's probable Sweezy bought it from King at his Long Island Studio.
