The background is rendered in a pale grey with green and blue tones. Round stones are affixed throughout the pagoda, blending into the composition as they are also painted. Canvas size: 25.69" H x 20.88" W Signed in top left corner: "Barbara Topping" Barbara Topping was born in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1920. She was a member of the Copley Society of Boston, the oldest art association in the United States. After living in Belchertown, Massachusetts for 21 years, Barbara Topping died in 1986.
