<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 4395430, member: 1476"]Victorian paintings aren't like Old Masters; there's no reason why it wouldn't be signed (or not) during that era. Have you examined the bottom carefully? If there's a signature, it might also appear beneath the frame. You should be able to date him more closely by his hair and clothing. If I had to guess, I'd think 1860-ishs. (Here's an 1860s photograph for comparison.) Oh, and you might want to consider that your portrait was created from a photograph. That could be one reason it isn't signed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]370760[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
