An original watercolor on paper depicting the Taku Glacier, a tidewater glacier in Taku Inlet, southeast of Juneau, Alaska. Signed lower left for the successful California painter Theodore Richardson (American, 1855-1914), who became one of Southeast Alaska's most faithful, prolific, and accomplished artist-visitors, arriving nearly every summer from his first visit in 1884 until his death in 1914. Noted for his coastal landscapes and views of tidewater glaciers, this superb piece has some minor impact damage and surface loss to the "bumped" corners of the frame, as photographed. Matted and framed, it measures approximately 14.25" x 17.75" overall, with a 7.5" x 10" sight view.
