No. 200 - Lawn Shadows by Rae Sloan Bredin

A small framed lakeside print on canvas, featuring a reproduction of an antique landscape oil painting. Perfect for cottage decor, vintage American impressionism, and lovers of serene outdoor scenes.

Lawn Shadows (1931) by Rae Sloan Bredin is domestic tranquility with a side of quiet drama. The figures are believed to be the artist’s own children, lounging on the lakeside lawn of his Pennsylvania property. Sunlight breaks through the trees in theatrical streaks, turning an ordinary afternoon into a stage set of light and dark. It’s half family snapshot, half study in atmosphere. If you’ve ever watched kids look completely unbothered while the world around them feels strangely charged, this painting nails it.

This small oil painting reproduction is printed on archival canvas and paired with a handcrafted frame cast in Hydrocal plaster, using a mold from a 19th-century antique. Finished in-studio to capture the texture and patina of a real vintage frame, it offers all the beauty of an heirloom – without having to inherit it. Available in aged gold or classic black, depending on your mood (or your wall).

Sized in our mini format, this piece makes a quiet statement on a shelf, gallery wall, or anywhere that needs a little mood and a lot of character. It arrives in a custom gift box that includes a removable art card from my curated collection of early 20th-century Swiss lithographed trading cards. On the back: a short message tied to the image - something between a fortune and a pep talk from the ghosts of a Swiss art collective. They’re collectible, slightly mysterious, and full of charm. Designs vary and yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one. See the last photo for the full collection. Inside the box, you’ll find a picture pin and an artist card with all the painting’s details.
