You'd have to question that date on the reverse of the canvas if you believed some websites.
Frank C Herbst. 1912 - 1970.
However, further research shows he was actually 1890-1966. A member of the Society of Illustrators and a teacher from 1947 to 1952 at the Rhode Island School of Design, Frank Herbst was born in Cairo, Illinois and lived in Newark, New Jersey. He received a B.F.A. from the Art Institute of Chicago, and his work is at the Marine Hospital in Lexington, Kentucky.* He is considered not only a fine illustrator but also a fine landscape and figure painter as well. He is listed in the book “New Hope for American Art” by James Alterman, an authoritative book on the New Hope Art Colony.
