<p>[QUOTE=&quot;thomas sundell, post: 1571497, member: 13746&quot;]Hope someone recognizes the painting and where it may have been purchased.</p><p>I&#039;m sending an email that we received from the gallery (Scotland) who thinks it might be a work by him.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dear Thomas and Carola Sundell,</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>We have examined your painting carefully and think that the painting could indeed be a rare and early example by George Leslie Hunter. Unfortunately it does need something else to confirm its authenticity. Provenance is an important part of authenticating pictures, and if it had a framing or exhibition label which linked it with Hunter’s early career it would be a huge help. We would not be in a position to help sell the painting in its current state. If it went to a Scottish auction house (Lyon &amp; Turnbull for instance), they would likely catalogue the work as ‘attributed to’ George Leslie Hunter and have the estimate in the high hundreds or possibly low thousands. If you wanted further expertise one could test the wood in the stretcher. If is was American wood this would tie in with the history of Hunter’s early life.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am sorry for the delay in getting back to you and sorry we have not been able to offer any further concrete evidence to help your cause. I have attached a shipping quote to have the painting returned to you.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Best wishes,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
