Message:: [QUOTE="leeddie, post: 199534, member: 3680"]This little painting I believe features the Seine River.  Or rather from research I have been doing for months now I believe some location along the Seine.  Using the frame or rather the framer's label it would date to between 1894 - 1898. If the painting were framed when first created.  The framer's label was only used between 1894 - 1898.  I understand it could have been painted earlier and  framed at a later date.Painting is oil on either thin canvas or paper attached to brown board.  I think paper.  Measures 2 17/16" x 4  11/16" with the backboard 3 1/16" x 4 17/16".   In my research thus far I have found  several paintings by Monet which feature a similar landscape of the Seine and river bank ( I understand it is not by Monet). Also in my research I found a painting by Renoir with the same type and color of backboard. The title of that painting is "The Blue River" which is even smaller than this painting at about 3 1/16" x 3 3/4".  What I want to know most is if I am correct in thinking it is the Seine?  Secondly if anyone might recognize the brush stroke structure given it is so pronounced.  Any and all info or suggestions are most welcome.  Pics were taken in July, 2016 out of doors.[ATTACH=full]56974[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]56975[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]56976[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]56977[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]56978[/ATTACH] thanks,Eddie[/QUOTE]
