<p>[QUOTE="Torkel Oftedal, post: 555980, member: 9653"]Hi all, i hope for your help once again. Of all the things my dad left me, this is one that i really wished that i would remember to ask him about before passing. For me it seem to be a pastel, not signed, clearly old, and with a motif from what seem to be the harbour of Messina. My dad had an excellent eye, he was educated at The Chicago Arts Institute, and he had a huge talent himself, but ended up in the advertising world (the Mad Men era) but for one reason i do not know, he always took great care of this work as something very special, and now i must admit i know nothing about it. The quesion is, is this only someting of sentimental value for him, or is there anything that anyone out there can say about the motif, the style and the age? It would be highly appreciated!
