Carl Sprichorn (American, 1887-1971) 

This oil on canvas  landscape painting measures 16” x 20” or in the vintage plaster/wood frame dimensions of 19” x 23” and is signed lower right Carl Sprinchorn.   I believe the painting is a Maine winter landscape scene, possibly during the period Sprinchorn spent living in the Patten and Shin Pond areas of Maine during the 1940's and early 1950's.   The painting appears to be circa mid 20th century and is in good overall condition.  However, the frame has a moderate amount of missing plaster around the edges and the corners, exposing the underlying wood of the frame (reference photos).  Please take into consideration that the painting was purchased a number of years ago from an art collector in New York without provenance and is being offered accordingly.
 
Biography:
Carl Sprinchorn was born in Sweden. At age 16, he emigrated to New York. Sprinchorn was a landscape painter, who incorporated modernism and realism into his work. He studied and worked with Robert Henri for a decade at the Art Students League. 

A longtime friend of Maine-born painter Marsden Hartley, Sprinchorn first visited Northern Maine in 1919 and returned to spend much of his time in the Patten and Shin Pond areas from 1937-1952, where he literally lived amongst the woodsmen and the farmers. It was there that he formed many deep relationships which helped inspire his painting and his writing. His health forced his departure in 1952, as he settled in Selkirk, New York, living there until his death in 1971.
