Ruth Savig -Colorado – Large Self Portrait w/Daughter circa 1960s

Offered here is an original painting by Greeley, Colorado artist Ruth Savig, circa mid 1960s. I believe the work is oil pastel on masonite board and measures 41 1/2 x 22 inches. The overall framed size is ~47 x 27 inches. Painting is signed at upper middle. Based on a number of pictures of the red-headed artist, found online, this is likely a self portrait with her young daughter Vanora. There is a partial exhibition label verso. Painting is generally in very good condition with wood framing. Painting board shows one small break or crack at middle left (approx. 3/4 in. crack visible, see picture), likely from a misplaced nail from back. —————– Ruth Savig (1930-2018) Ruth was born in Cheyenne, Wyoming on May 20, 1930. She was the 2019 recipient of the Greeley Arts Legacy Hall Of Fame Award for Visual Art.
