Old Photos Capture Lost Art

Newly discovered photos taken nearly four decades ago reveal two original works of art by Raymond Francis Robbins. The whereabouts of the original pieces are unknown today... only the photographs remain. 

The images shown below are digital scans of the old photographs. The artworks are classic Robbins' paintings - capturing his signature theme, style and composition.

The piece "By The River" shown below was most likely painted in the mid 1960s... and portrays a snowy winter setting with a meandering river that creates a strong composition.



Below, a look at the original photo with the artwork hanging on the wall.



The piece "Boats on the Water" shown below follows the coastal theme found in many of Robbins' works.
