Purchased at Americana art auction in the early 90's. Depth here is how far it hangs out from the wall. Painting alone measurement is 9.5 across by 11.5 tall.
Stunning original oil signed by M Strauss. Painted on wood (board) The cardboard you see is just to help hold the painting in place with the frame. The painting is in excellent condition.
Titled 'Sunny slope, Sononma county' #25
Most of the frame, I'm guessing is gold leaf. There are a few small nicks. Nothing major.
The dark area of the frame, I think is black-stained carved wood. In certain lights, it picks up a reflection of almost a coppery bronze. I would say the framing has 3 layers to it And really makes the painting 'pop.' Painting is surprising heavy for its size.
Meyer Straus was a member of the Bohemian Club, and the San Francisco Art Association. His work was exhibited widely, and his works are held by the California Historical Society, the Nevada Museum, and the Oakland Museum.
At 17 years old, he left his native Bavaria and landed in the United States in 1848. At age 41, he moved to Chicago in 1872 and worked as a scenery painter at Hooley's Theater. Three years later, for health reasons, he left the winters of the midwest and moved to San Francisco.
He painted scenery at the Bush Street Theater and the Grand Opera House. In 1876, he dedicated himself to easel painting. He opened a Montgomery Street studio and made sketching trips into Yosemite, Marin County, the Monterey Penninsula, and up to Oregon. He published some of these scenes as magazine illustrations. His paintings include still lifes, California missions, figure studies, and landscapes of Northern California. He died in San Francisco in 1905.
