Hjalmar "Cappy" Amundson (New York, 1911-2001) oil on canvas, depicting sailboats at harbor with smaller boats in foreground. Housed in carved giltwood frame, signed bottom left "William Ward Jr." with a mostly illegible inscription en verso "286 A…W. Ward Jr." Sight – 12 3/4" H x 19 3/4" W, Framed – 21 1/2" H x 25 5/8" W. Early to mid 20th century. Note (courtesy of AskART: The Artists' Bluebook): Hjalmar "Cappy" Amundson was born under the name Caspar Hjalmar Emerson III, but went on to change his name to Hjalmar Amundson in honor of his relative Roald Amundsen, and then proceeded to paint under many aliases, one of them being William Ward Jr. CONDITION: Good condition; overall craquelure with more but more in bottom and left quadrants, with minor losses to frame.
