Primitive Painting with airplane: "Gray Dawn, NX112" Can you Identify Airplane?

This morning, I found this old, primitive painting. Paid $1. The airplane has the words " Gray Dawn; NX112" on it. There's also a child toy of a cannon in the walkway. What kind of plane is this? This art piece is probably 1910-30s because Syble Bingham was born about 1894 and died April 1, 1940, Thanks for your input!

I think it's a Piper a Super Cub with an old school radial engine.

The aircraft reminds me of Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis" ;and the number is just about the same. His was NX211.

I think there is some confusion here about "Lindy's" registration number. Photos show NX211, the pic and the toy show NX112.

The tail is wrong but everything else looks like a Ryan.

 

[Mackaydon]

Another compelling reason to believe the aircraft was drawn with the idea that it was Lindberghs is the registration number N-X.... the " X" meant Experimental;and Lindy had that "X" designation. My guess is this is a pic drawn soon after that historic flight (1927)while the 'afterglow' of that flight was still fresh in everyone's minds--including this artist's.

Painted by someone who had never been close enough to Lindbergh's Ryan to notice it had no windshield.

He sat in the back to help balance out the added fuel tanks.

N[X]211 is registered (The Sprit of St Louis) and several repros

N112 was reserved in 2009 - no aircraft associated with it currently.

Except for the landing gear struts, it appears more like a 3 engine Fokker complete with a windshield but a Fokker never had a two piece Fin that I know of. The artist painted the main engine and somewhat, the one under the left wing but did not understand that at that vantage point looking down on the airplane, that you could actually see part of the third engine sticking out from under the right wing.

On July 26, 1927, a nationwide victory tour brought Lindbergh to Springfield in his plane, "The Spirit of St. Louis."

Syble Bingham lived in Springfield, VT.

Looks like a Ford trimotor to me. That's a very folk art looking painting.... Well worth the dollar you gave.

That depiction is actually of a Ford Tri-Motor. Famous pilots Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart both flew them. Sub

"Gray Dawn" is a lyric from a popular song called Lindbergh in the Summer of 1927.

...a poem about ford tri-motor mail planes....Ma always talked about seeing them in the 20's and being able to tell the time in the fields because of them.
