  JOHN WHORFAmerican 1903-1959Ship at sea. Signed lower right JC Whorf''. The painting is accompanied with a signed letter of authentication from John Whorf the artist's son and Amy Whorf the artist's granddaughter. The letter reads in part: ''While the signature JC Whorf is not typical of Whorf we believe it to be authentic and at the early stage of his career probably an emulation of his father and earliest mentor H.C. (Harry Church Whorf).This marine whose style is heavily influenced by one of Whorf's first teachers Charles Hawthorne hints at Whorf's mature style ... and attests even at this early date to his facility with the brush his understanding of impressionist color and his skill as a picture maker.''Presented in a hand-carved frame.
