Included in this lot is an original Carl Tolpo, “St. Marys Lake” oil painting from 1954. Carl Tolpo was born in Ludington, Michigan in 1901. During the course of his career, he established his reputation as a portrait, genre, and landscape painter, as well as a portrait and figure sculptor. As a painter, his works in fine oil portraiture particularly include state portraits and landscape oil paintings of the western USA, mostly the Yellowstone Park region. His works are on display in the National Museum of Wildlife Art in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. This beautiful 1954 painting portrays a grand view of glistening St. Marys Lake in Glacier National Park, surrounded by rocky peaks and sunlit clouds overhead. In the top right corner of this painting, "Sept 5 48" is written. The artwork measures 12" by 16".
