Walter Parke was born in Arkansas in 1909 and studied at the Art Institute of Chicago with Wellington J. Reynolds. He taught at Palette and Chisel in 1966 and was a member of the Brown County Art Guild, Municipal Art League, and the Oak Park Art League. Walter Parke was a prolific artist whom also created oil paintings. His artwork was sold around the world with many of the finer specimens residing in museums or exhibits today. We acquired this one from an estate sale in Grand Prairie Texas where the previous owner was a retired US Military officer and decorated veteran. This artwork is original and under close examination using a trinocular microscope the hand drawn details are apparent as are some dusting of the original paper from the graphite pencil Water Parke used. Overall the drawing is in good condition while the frame is vintage, has glass and is well patinated. It is likely this drawing resided on the wall for the 40-50 years or longer as the home was built during the Victorian era.
