A vintage perhaps 1950’s or 1960’s watercolor painting of Mission Dolores, in San Francisco, signed illegibly at lower right. The work, 9 by 12″ (15″ by 18 in a quality Jerry Solomon distressed-style frame) is beautifully executed by a trained artist. The name “Helmuth Wagner” has been suggested but perhaps we are mis-reading the signature. There are minor paper digs at top above the roof and at lower left, showing as lighter areas.

Signed and inscribed lower right Rocky Pt. Likely depicting Red Rock Beach or Stinson Beach, where the artist frequented, or another San Francisco Bay coastal locale. Shown both with frame and without (no glass). Work itself measures 12 x 20 inches. Frame measures 19 x 27 inches. In very good condition; please see photos. About the artist, from Edan Hughes: Being from an upper class family, Farnsworth was well educated in England and later became a member of the British Royal Engineeers. While studying civil engineering in Paris, he became interested in painting and may have had some instruction there. From Paris, he moved to Canada where his sketching ability was of great use while working as a railroad surveyor. He then lived for several years in Spokane, WA and, while there, married an English woman. Upon coming to San Francisco in 1892, Farnsworth gained employment as an artist for the Examiner and, while in that capacity, painted many luminous watercolors. He later moved across the bay to Marin County where he was a resident of San Anselmo, Stinson Beach, and San Rafael. He sometimes painted with Thaddeus Welch and Louis Rea. His subject matter seldom varied from scenes of the San Francisco Bay area. From his brush came views of Mount Tamalpais and the Mann hills, the Golden Gate, Fort Point, and coastal scenes. An alcoholic, he died on Sept. 17, 1908 at Adler’s Sanitarium in San Francisco. Artists, Golden Gate Park Museum, 1915. In: San Jose Museum; De Young Museum; Mann Co. Historical Society; Civic Art Gallery of San Jose; Society of Calif. Pioneers; Oakland Museum; CHS. CSL; CHS; AAW: From Frontier to Fire. Biography courtesy askart. Com, as submitted by Edan Hughes.

San Francisco FLOWER VENDOR California. FRAMED SIZE IS 18″ x 15 1/2″ Matted. Inside artwork showing size is 9″ X 11″. Original water color by Frank SerratoniWell know San Francisco artist. Image size 9×11 of colorful flower market 1940s! San Francisco Watercolor Prints by Frank Serratoni In the late 1940’s Serratoni moved to San Francisco from Detroit. There he first started a silk screen process with his San Francisco prints. His first effort was not successful: the process because the original color range was limited and eventually faded. Next he created a new method for his small 1940’s San Francisco prints. They were a lithographed (plates were made for each of the 12 scenes) on a watercolor tolerant paper. The watercolors were then applied to the lithographs — each print was then painted with watercolors resulting in a finished looked that approximated an original. He blended the colors giving the right tones for each area. Because each was done individually, each is slightly different. These watercolor prints provided him with a steady income supplement and they were a big tourist attraction. Serratoni watercolors hang in the Fairmont Hotel, San Francisco, CA and the exclusive men’s club, Olympic. The large watercolors are still hanging in the Fairmont Hotel along with other well-known artist. Is listed in Edan Hughes’ book, Artists in California. This item is in the category “Art\Paintings”.
