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!

 

Try going to gallery and doing copy then paste to your message here.

 

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.

 

@daveydempsey Anything you can suggest or do to fix Peasnquiet's account problems?

 

Interestingly (or not!) I found a very similar still life sold on first dibs - Seemingly similar vase, flowers, fruit (not the same but similar) and background. https://www.1stdibs.com/furniture/w...h-school-style-floral-painting/id-f_20906922/

 

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

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.

 

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!
