Very good condition. Painted full sheet on heavy watercolor paper and trimmed by the artist to size. A slight bit of masking tape residue from previous mount, otherwise fine. Alice Connell Shupp was a Las Vegas, New Mexico, artist, evidently born there and never left. She passed away in 1984 and is buried in the Masonic cemetery. Who's Who in American Art gives a short listing and a few tangential references. Another good artist that we need to know more about. As stated the watercolor is in very good condition considering age with little if any fading evident. A label accompanying the painting reads: "Navajo Indian Children"--- by Alice Cónnell Shupp, To Exhibitor or Purchaser: The artist has used as nearly permanent water colours as it is possible to obtain, but to reduce fading to a minimum hang painting on a wall on which is no glare of light."
