39 David A. Maass (b. 1929) Winter Wonder Ruffed Grouse signed "Maass" lower left oil on board, 31 1/2 by 26 1/2 in.
Bill Webster handled dozens of paintings by Maass throughout his life, and this work was a personal favorite. The family recounts, “This painting sat in our sun porch in which our dad retired each evening after dinner. From his favorite chair he could look out the window and see his beloved Lake Pepin as well as view one of the best ruffed grouse paintings by one of his best friends, David Maass.� This painting was reproduced as a color print in a limited edition of 2500, a copy of which accompanies the lot.
