<p>[QUOTE="Jim Goodykoontz, post: 9855018, member: 82566"]hi everyone. i found this painting a couple of days ago in a Goodwill. i got all excited when i started researching it because the signature, "Cross," corresponds with a fairly important Western artist Henry H. Cross. i thought i'd found a lost masterpiece. i'm now pretty sure this isn't the work of Henry Cross. i can't find another example of his work online where he didn't sign his paintings "H H Cross." also, it really doesn't look like any other work of his that i've found online. this painted, frame and all measures 32"x26".</p><p><br /></p><p>anyway, i'm hoping to figure out who did this, but also, i would like some input as to how old this painting might be. when i found this it had a cardboard cover on the backside. i believe that's why the canvas is so clean. i removed that to get pics of the backside, as well as the corners. you can see someone attached quarter-round wood molding to the back edge of the stretcher and the frame. i'm wondering how old is the frame or what era is it from? any help will be greatly appreciated...thanks, jim[ATTACH=full]493700[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493701[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493702[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493703[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493704[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]493705[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
