Signed by Justin McCarthy(1892-1977), Mixed media on paper, 28″ x 21.5″, American, 20th century.

McCarthy began to paint when he was in an asylum (1915-1920), and continued to make work in his native Pennsylvania town. His expressionistic work caught the eye of collectors, the Strausers, who bought and promoted his art. McCarthy’s work has been included in exhibitions at MOMA, AMFA, and the PA Academy of Fine Arts.
