The Charming Little Oil Painting That Is Not Torn (Painted to look that way)

SOLD!




This is the original work the artist copied

As you can see from the photographs the painting is only 7 inches long and 5 1/2 inches wide framed. 
This amazing small painting depicts a little girl praying at the foot of her bed, in her tattered room with ripped wallpaper, attended only by her little black cat. The painting of the rip in the wallpaper is done so well, I thought the image was actually ripped. Please see the photo where I show the surface of the painting (Great trompe l’oeil illusion).
The image of the child praying is lifted from a lithograph put out by Tabor–Prang Co. in 1904 as Lord’s Prayer as can be seen in the last photograph. Someone did make a very precious painting out of it.
