    Kasperscuriosities Two hundred years too late.

    So just got an estate in today and haven't really sorted anything yet but this looked interesting? It looks pretty old at least.

    Here's a little on the Seebold family of New Orleans. They were very much in that city's art scene from the tome of the Civil War to the turn of the century. After the CW, W.E. Seebold became the South's most prominent art dealer."

    More info on WE Seebold
    "Note: William Henry Buck exhibited his work at the William Seebold Gallery on Canal Street in New Orleans. Seebold, a native of Germany, was active as an art dealer in New Orleans from c. 1865 to 1920. He was one of the foremost art connoisseurs in the city, exhibiting works by local artists as well as many of the top European artists of the day. From 1879 to 1916, almost every notable artist who visited New Orleans dined at his home on Prytania Street. His gallery was a meeting place for Clague, Buck, E.B. Julio and others. Seebold's gallery and home were the nexus of the art world in late 19th century New Orleans. Buck and his contemporaries certainly benefited from the opportunity to see the many European paintings that Seebold had on offer at his gallery as well as installed in his gracious mansion.
    Reference: Encyclopaedia of New Orleans Artists 1718-1918, The Historic New Orleans Collection, 1987."

    Scroll down this page to the "#297 William Henry Buck..." Read the note at the end of the descrption of the painting. It's about the 4th descrption up from the bottom.

    Well I went and looked it over really good. There is no other information anywhere on it. The print is strange you can see brush strokes but I am sure it is a print of some sort and not a painting. At least I am pretty sure. LOL! Not that I have any expertise in this. It's behind glass.

    That looks really similar but (and this is kind of hard to see in the picture) the background is different. There is a piece of furniture draped with something in the background. It may even be a bed with a blanket draped over the end. That is kind of what it looks like but your picture is very very close. Gosh they look so similar though that is the only thing throwing me off.

    Definitely a "version" of the Reynolds image. Made more "homey" for sale.

    That makes sense. They have to be related just a slight difference.

    This is shown online as in the National Gallery, London. As stated: The Infant Samuel at Prayer by Joshua Reynolds

    They aren't quite the same, but I can't find any explanation why. Both have the same title and author. He might have painted two.

    The Tate says it's in the Tate.

    I don't think yours is faded. It may be, but it was probably never other than a monochrome repro, probably c1900 and of nominal value. I think whatever value is there will be in the frame - if that's in good condition.

    I've got a framed print of this as well. I buy bulk lots of old pictures at yard sales so I can get the frames to use for my own artwork. These were so widely produced I think the frame is worth more than the print.
