Clock Maker Oil Painting

Hello fellow antiquers! I purchased this painting today and cannot find the artist online. I bought it for my home as I love the artwork and am a tinkerer myself.

I have no idea about anything to do with this piece. If you have any suggestions or information, I would love to hear from you!

Thank you kindly,

Jon

 

Hi JTR,can we see a picture of the back ? And a clear one of the signature ?

 

Thank you for the reply @johnnycb09. Let me get that for you. I am having a hard time uploading quality photos but I will try and figure it out.

 

I am not sure what I am doing yet within this forum but will try my best to navigate.

 

An appealing subject, but the statute of the figure looks odd, as though it was painted by a non-painter of a different nationality in another country. The frame leads me to believe: China.

 

agree with @antidiem, most likely Chinese.

 

Hello, Jon, and welcome! A photograph of the back of your painting would be helpful. I read the signature as "Regner" and am a bit concerned that I find two other genre paintings signed Regner but each by a different hand. They're offered by the same eBay seller which is a bit worrisome too.

If using your phone, email the pictures to yourself as medium, save them then post from there.

Pictures need to be 1MB or 600x800

 

Yes, definitely two different artists' paintings, thanks Deborah.

@JTR , there are painting "factories" in China that crank out genuine oil paintings. They are often framed just like yours has been framed..

 

@JTR and @antidiem Here's link to a brief article about one such village:

I will provide a photograph of the back first chance I get. Thanks for the help with this!
