Theorem painting is an early American decorative technique that dates back to the first half of the 19th century.
These are done by a local artist, Elizabeth Cutrofello. She will be the feature story of the September '07 issue of Verdant Hills of Litchfield County and Abroad. Her bountiful theorem will be on the cover.
Since they are individually done the lead time is dependent on the demand and her supply. We can tell you as you order the time frame to expect your painting.
The frames are all hand-grained or aged. They are all enclosed by glass.
