    put up before and looked for at least 20 hours. I keep looking in the same places. Maybe you all know more places to search. Im guessing they signed pretty much in middle of painting. Meiller. Thats it. 20200912_193647_resize_69.jpg 20200912_193623_resize_29.jpg 20200912_193637_resize_99.jpg 20200912_193712_resize_40.jpg

    Is this a painting or some kind of print? The way Meiller is written strikes me as more the way a printer labels a work than how an artist signs.

    I think it's going to be difficult to get much further.

    My guess 1880's thats about the era I have been searching. I got this at a Maryland estate auction. They are my favs.

    5he way it was signed i figured it would be an easy find. The family of this estate was a Prominent German family in Baltimore. Bernard A. Schmitz.

    Never found any pics of him. Have a walking stick silver handle dated 1902 of his as well.

    Late Victorian portrait. Does look German in style. Could have been a local artist.

    What size is this?

    Someone stained the entire back dark brown and including the back of the stretched canvas?

    Looks like a wealthy man, perhaps a doctor, from his velvet vest and coat.

    The centering of the figure appears to be too low. Is the bottom cut off that we cannot see beneath the frame?

    I still like the portrait, just like last time.
    Meiller is a German name, so it could have been painted in Germany.
