Watercolor Painting by George Linton Herdle 1868-1922 To the best of my knowledge the name of the painting is "Late Afternoon Near Leyden," it is written in pencil on the bottom of the old press-printed history card 5"x8 1/2" that was taped to the back of the frame. (see picture) It tells about all the schools he attended, his first teacher was the famous painter Charles P. Gruppe and much more information. The size of the painting itself is 15 1/2" x 23 1/2" with the original frame it measures 22 1/2" x 30 3/4" overall, frame is 1 1/2" thick. The condition of the painting and frame is very good. It is signed in lower left front of painting. The Champlin Encyclopedia copyright 1948 states: "Leyden, Netherlands, a city in the province of South Holland, on the Rhine River, 6 miles from the sea. It is in a low, flat country, and is cut up by many canals, crossed by more than a hundred bridges. Around it are beautiful meadows and pleasant gardens, with many windmills." (This definition describes this George Linton Herdle painting perfectly!!)
