Original, signed oil painting on board by W.T. Carlsen.

I'm uncertain of the setting for this cityscape, but I suspect it's Montreal. I currently have four works by Carlsen in my collection. Since I've been able to view a body of his work, I've noticed that he tends to work within a very defined color palette, which I have come to view as his signature style. The "floating" effect of the metallic colored frame is also a hallmark of this artist.
So who was W.T. Carlsen? Wagn Carlsen, better known as W.T. Carlsen, grew up and studied art in Denmark. He moved to Canada in 1954 and, later, the U.S. He achieved success as a commercial artist and illustrator early in his career. After moving to North America, he became well-regarded for his cityscapes. He exhibited in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico, and won multiple awards. While information on him is rather slim, I was able to find out that he eventually moved to New Jersey where focused on landscapes. He also spent at least five years working a frame shop in New Jersey. less
