Message:: [QUOTE="Debora, post: 1548516, member: 1476"]The "This is an original oil painting" stamp is a red flag that yours is a decorative piece.  Here's what the internet had to say about another painting stamped such...  "This is a circa 1950 to 1980 (staples on the back can be no earlier than 1950) painted by a studio artist (unknown) and published by a home decor art company that sold the paintings through catalogs, department and furniture stores. These were original paintings by artists that would have never otherwise been known because the work was just belowthe quality level of being considered fine art." Painting such as yours were bought from wholesalers who sourced them in Asia, Europe and South America. The artist's name Leopold Bayer would be a nom de pinceau. Debora[/QUOTE]
