TWO EGRETS IN A PRIVATE COLLECTION by M. Devoe

 

This submission comes from a private collection.  Collector "Jan" says her Devoe is 26" x 32" framed.  Looks like the original frame without the mirrored pieces.  This one is very close to one of my own Devoe paintings:

 



Of course, mine had to be reframed.  Thank you, Jan for sharing your beautiful Devoe with us.

TWO FLAMINGOS IN THE ORIGINAL MIRRORED FRAME by M. Devoe

We know very few things about M. Devoe but we do know that he/she framed their work in picture frames with mirrors around the frame.  Almost all of the Devoe paintings I have seen, including the ones I own, are missing the mirrored pieces.  Often pieces of the mirrors are there, or evidence of the glue used to fasten them to the frame but never a complete mirrored frame - until now.  

ebay Seller thebearman offered the painting above - an M. Devoe painting of two flamingos in the original mirror frame.  After receiving 11 bids, the painting sold for $96.00.  Somebody got a tremendous deal.  Let's take another look at the mirror part of the frame:

The item framed, is 32" x 36".  Good thing I didn't see this until the auction was over or I might have been tempted...

To the successful bidder, enjoy your beautiful M. Devoe in the original mirror frame!
