19th century French painting? Or Reproduction?

    I purchased the painting in the gallery (cannot post it here - I have no ability to post, tried to resolve with no luck and cannot even create a new account with different email address). It is definitely older, canvas attached with nails. It has a lot of damage which I doubt can be repaired but it looked like a 19th century dutch style still to me.

    If anyone happens to wander over the gallery and view my painting, let me know if you agree?

    thank you!

    What was the error message you go when trying to upload your pictures?

    Have you tried using the little camera icon in the reply toolbar? It should help you to embed your pictures from the Gallery.

    There must be something wrong with my account - I have no icons in the comment area. I do see them when I am on as a guest (before I log in) and can post from the gallery here - But once I log in they dont show up anymore.

    I wonder if yours is maybe a fairly modern piece, it is lovely. I hope I'm wrong.

    To me your frame looks new-ish and the signature looks rather fresh but I don't know. Some of the paintings from the "made to decorate" places are very well done. Hopefully someone will know more.


    Here is one also signed A Christina

    This they say is signed A Christina but don't show the signature

    Yes my frame is newer for sure. It's odd the back of the canvas looks older than the frame but perhaps it is repro... Thank you!!! I do like it though and have the perfect spot.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I used to have a very similar still life. It was not a painting, though. Some type of print made to look like a painting. One of my sisters gave it to me as a gift. It was brand new when I got it.

    Best wishes, it sounds like you like it, whether old or new!
