Fantastic original oil painting by George H. Jones depicting a scene from Herman Wouk's WWII novel The Caine Mutiny. This painting was created exclusively for the Franklin Library collection and is from the Franklin Mint archives. This is a fine example of Jones's illustrations in very good condition and with a nice provenance.

 My price of $1199 is extremely reasonable and far below what one would be expected to pay for it in a gallery or at auction.

Biography:

George H. Jones, a Wilton resident who died in 1993, was a Chicago-based commercial illustrator, a student at the American Academy of Art, a beneficiary of the G.I. Bill of Rights, and a Korean War veteran who moved his family east in the 1970s to break into the New York market. Among his many clients were Reader's Digest and Reader's Digest Condensed Books, Reuben H. Donnelly Corporation, Parker Pen, and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Magazine. As his style matured, he worked primarily with publishing companies, including Dell, Simon & Schuster, Harlequin Romance, Pocket Books, and Silhouette Intimate Moments, defining the quintessential couple’s embrace.
