Item Details

An original signed oil on canvas of a Mexican village scene by listed artist Paul Ashbrook (American, 1867 – 1949). The painting depicts a sun-lit Mexican village with white-stuccoed and terra-cotta-roofed houses, a steep-walled road to the left with walkers shaded by tall trees. To the foreground are large stones and vegetation, and to the background towering blue mountains. The painting is signed and dated to the lower right corner and finished in a gilded beveled wooden frame. Paul Ashbrook was born in New York in 1867, his given name being Paul Von Eschenbach. He studied at the Art Students League, under the tutelage of William Merritt Chase, then later at the Cincinnati Art Academy with Frank Duveneck. Early in the 1920s, he worked for the Stonebridge Lithographic Company designing posters for the Barnum and Bailey Circus before traveling in Europe and Mexico, in the later 1920s.
