<p>[QUOTE="Kathleen Hooley, post: 1050458, member: 12336"][ATTACH=full]208574[/ATTACH] I have come upon, from an estate sale, an unsigned oil painting on board of a picture of a Victorian woman. This piece is intriguing. It is an oil on particle board. The wood looks very aged as does the picture but it seems to have a newer picture hanger, which of course could have been added later. The closest I have found to it is the American Folk Art of Joseph H. Davis in the mid 19th century around 1840. It seems to completely reproduce the content and style of his work. My research shows that particle was created in the mid 1850s but I could be incorrect. So my dilemma is I don't know if this is a very good repro or an actual Joseph H. David piece. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks, Kathie P.S. Right now this is the only picture I can upload. It keeps giving me an error message on the other pictures are too large. I don't know[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
