I am looking to sell this Keane Art Portrait, bought in 1961, in its original frame. The title is “Peace on Earth.” I would appreciate your offers. It measures 30 by 35.5 inches. It was painted by Eleanor Keane yet the frame states Walter Keane. There was a dispute over who had painted it but it was found to be Mrs. Keane who did paint it. Walter claimed ownership, yet was found not to know how to paint. A divorce followed. Mrs. Keane is still alive today, living in Hawaii-to my knowledge.
It has never been out of the frame nor were any alteration made.
Please contact 631 473-7667 if you have any questions regarding it.

I already have too many wide eye Keanes but this is a great one to be sure.
I got to spend an incredible evening with Margaret Keane. https://www.awmok.com/2010/03/31/allee-willis’-kitsch-o’-the-day-–-the-only-thing-better-then-a-keane-painting-is-to-be-with-keane/ Really exciting to see the Keanes she kept too.
