Description:Civil War era baseball painting c.1860-70's. Original pastel on canvas painting of an early uniformed player leaning on a bat measures 16"x20" displayed in an oak veneered frame having a vignette window cutout in the center to give a "portrait" appearance. Painting is very well executed with nice facial detail and subtle tones. Canvas has two very minor period puncture repairs and a corner stain (not visible in the current frame).
