Description :
An evocative early 20th-century oil painting on board by John Fery, depicting the tranquil Lake Chelan surrounded by towering pine forests and distant, mist-covered mountains of Washington State.

Signature: Medium: Title (verso): Provenance & Label: Retains original printed gallery label: “Western Paintings by John Fery” Distributed by W. M. McConahay, Jeweler and Art Dealer, Salt Lake City, Utah The label notes Fery’s commissions for the Northern Pacific Railroad and his work on Western national park scenes, including Glacier and Zion.

Hand-inscribed “Lake Chelan” on the backboard

John Fery was a Hungarian-born painter known for his monumental Western landscapes commissioned by American railroads to promote travel and tourism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His works are held in major collections, including the National Park Service and Glacier National Park archives. This example—depicting Lake Chelan, Washington—represents Fery’s hallmark style of luminous naturalism and frontier grandeur.
