<p>[QUOTE="PortableTreasures, post: 593847, member: 10237"]Dawnno--this write-up is absolutely incredible and I feel guilty about the hours of work that must've gone into all these fantastic details! I have learned such a good lesson today about following up on all details--and not dismissing things like red and blue sails simply because I'd never seen them for myself. They are so central to the story of my painting, like you say. I really love your analysis that this is "Fish for Sale" painting--perhaps Prussian or Dutch--and might even have been painted in an English port!! And you've even got excellent evidence of the fish itself most likely being herring! This really is brilliant and I can't thank you enough--not just for your work, but for showing me how to go about researching something more fully![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
