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!

TWO BIRDS IN TWO FRAMES by M. Devoe

These two were offered as one lot on ebay by Seller guilford123.  Each painting is 18" x 14" and are $149.99 Buy it Now for both.  They are painted on the foil-type board that Devoe often used.  From a distance they look like they are painted on foil; up close you can see that it is a silvered-board.  They also appear to be in the original mirrored frames that Devoe used, but as usual the mirror pieces are broken or missing.   

TWO EGRETS by M. Devoe

M. Devoe typically painted several different kinds of tropical birds.  The flamingos are easy to recognize, but the birds in today's selection are harder to identify. Most often they are referred to as "cranes" but this Seller calls them "egrets."
