Oil painting on rough board depicts a Peruvian man in a red jacket with fur lined boots on the edge of a very high cliff behind three resting llamas, an image of the Andes snow top mountains is painted in the background. Signed "NBush" (Norton Bush, AMERICAN, 1834 - 1894) lower right.
Norton Bush was born in Rochester NY in 1834, he studied under the Hudson River Artists Jasper Cropsey and James Harris, Frederic Church, another Hudson artist encouraged Bush to travel to South America which he did in 1853 soon landing the round about way in San Francisco, CA. He made several trips to South America over the course of the next 20 years and was hired by the South American railroad builder Henry Meiggs to travel the rail rout through Peru in 1873 to paint scenes along the way. He returned to CA in the late 1870s and remained as an art teacher until his death in 1894.
This image appears to be a quick rough sketch of perhaps his guide along the exhibition though it lacks Bush's finesse with tropical scenes there is still an element of his ability to capture the essence of the moment, there is especially great detail given to the animals in the picture.
Housed in a simple wood frame with light gold gilt back does show some very faded letters and a number in block print under the black paint we can make out what appears to be "NO" and below that a "9"
