Featured Artwork: Unnamed #10, The Little Window

RSW's Diary Comments

As unfinished, Woodward would not have written or commented in his artwork diary. All the works of art were framed for their preservation in 2017.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

This unfinished painting of the "Little East" facing window in RSW's Southwick studio does not exactly resemble any other of the numerous "Little" window paintings because he often staged them differently using the various brick-a-brack items he had about the studio. This window is however, is one of RSW's favorite subjects.



Additional Notes

This incomplete artwork was found in a forgotten shipping crate stored in an attic, as seen below, along with twenty other pieces. The crate is in excellent condition and is a wonderful example of how RSW shipped his paintings about the country to exhibit in various shows.
