[photo] Bear Lake, Wasatch Mountains, Utah [6]
Photo credit: J. H. Saltzer, 2003
Date: undated
Medium: oil on canvas
Size: 30 x 50 in (76 x 127 cm)
Inscription: l/r, "F. Schafer", in red, in the artist's fraktur hand
Verso: l/c, "Be** *ake, Wa****h Mts. Utah", lettered in the artist's hand, some letters covered by repair tape.
Provenance: Private collection, Ogden, Utah; to private collection, southern Wyoming c. 1970; with Homestead Antiques, Saint Charles, Idaho, 2003; with North Point Gallery, San Francisco, 2004.
Citations: personal communication
Site: Unconfirmed, but apparently a few miles south of Salt Lake City. Based on the painting titles and other legends handed down with the paintings, the lake is called Bear Lake, the large central mountain is called Black Mountain, and the light-colored mountain on the left is called Crystal Mountain. But a search of Utah place names does not turn up any single location associated with all three names.
Description: PRECAT
Note: See the list of Wasatch Mountains, including Black Mountain, paintings for other paintings of this same scene from slightly different vantage points.
