<p>[QUOTE="mr2real, post: 29164, member: 277"]I stumbled across this piece today. From my research, I plan on heading back to get it in the morning. A rough measurement would be 16" width and 24" height. I didn't see any signs that would make it an obvious fake. The signature and style looks right for Eduard Veith. There are a couple of things that concern me. My concerns - The backing appears to be cardboard (reframed recently?), I can't make sense of anything wrote on the back (names and addresses?), and the price tag says 1902 painting (although I didn't see 1902 written anywhere). It was hard to get good photos through the front cover. I'm assuming the art is on paper. Asking price is $225. I'm thinking it was unidentified because the owner was probably seaching for an artist named EVEITH, instead of E. Veith. Any thoughts?</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some pieces that have sold - <a href="http://www.blouinartinfo.com/artist/451500/lots" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.blouinartinfo.com/artist/451500/lots" rel="nofollow">http://www.blouinartinfo.com/artist/451500/lots</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]7262[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]7260[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]7258[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]7261[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]7259[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
