A few Harold Weston paintings have flown like milkweed seeds into the wide world, leaving no trace of where they eventually landed. If you have had any sightings of these “lost” paintings please contact us (info(a)haroldweston.org.) Or if you have or know of any Weston painting,
tell us about it—probably we don’t know
all we’re missing!
Below are the best images and most recent information
we have.

These seven oil on canvas paintings
from the early
Adirondack period were in the 1922 Montross Gallery show. We have no images and the titles could have changed over the years. In 1922 each painting had a frame, such as the one shown here, that was gilded and hand carved by the artist.
