Young woman with bouquet of lilies in empty church.

Publication information:
story illustration for “The Heavy Stone” by Jessamyn West, appearing in American magazine of March, 1948.

Oil on canvas

Condition:
Very good. Frame though seems to be somewhat bowed and has probably influenced the stretcher bars too.

Comment:
As a mainstay of the pulp magazine world, Baumhofer found it difficult to get steady assignments from the slick magazines early on in his career. One of the few general-interest, large circulation magazines to use his talent consistently was American magazine. Here he shows the strengths of composition and story-telling that stood him in good stead in his long career with the pulps, through more mainstream readership and ultimately to a career as a popular calendar illustrator.
