Note
This is one of 14 paintings attributed to Gertrude Seiberling or Dorothy Seiberling that were found at the Gate Lodge in 1999. NOTE: Gertrude only signed a few of these, and Dorothy only signed one.
This is one of 25 paintings used in the 2008 exhibit "A Period of Perspective - The Art of Gertrude Penfield Seiberling" in the Music Room at Stan Hywet. The majority of these paintings were not framed, and some weren't on stretchers. Thus, new frames were added for the exhibit by Akron Center for Art & Framing, 1915 W. Market St, Akron, OH.
