This dreamlike oil on canvas composition captures the enigmatic, Magic Realist aesthetic attributed to American painter Gertrude Abercrombie. Set within a sparse, flat landscape under a stormy sky and full moon, the scene combines recurring motif elements—such as Victorian architecture, a solitary female figure, and an owl—to evoke a mysterious, introspective narrative. Signed and dated abercrombie '53 in dark script along the lower right edge of the canvas. The reverse of the raw linen canvas bears an aged paper gallery label from ASSOCIATED AMERICAN ARTIST • 711 FIFTH AVENUE NEW YORK 22, N.Y., typing: ARTIST: Gertrude Abercrombie TITLE: on the way home LEDGER NO.: 7532 Painting Size: 20.5 x 13 inches Framed Size: 29 x 22 inches Frame: Housed in a broad, gilded vintage wooden frame with an aged gold finish and carved floral outer relief border.
