William Skilling (1862-1964) LIVELY HARVEST "The Merry Widow"
A very fine set of four large oil paintings on canvas, 121 cm x 121 cm, framed in their original frames, depicting a lively and festive grape harvest.
I believe these works date from the 1930s.

On the back, they bear an inventory reference, possibly from the artist or an exhibition: W - 5826.
