[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 31657, member: 51"]Hi Susan, Thanks for taking a look, and for the location of this scene. Super helpful because I may be listing for sale (even though the back says not to, lol.) I also noticed the quantity and variety of what sells and not on Ebay attributed to this artist, took that into account when I paid $5 for the piece figuring it was a small gamble. Now looking at two matches that came up by searching "Burnett, Montmatre", a larger one sold for US $46, a UK auction, and there is one currently on Ebay France just listed. Each painting is a different scene of Montmatre, they are not exact copies. I think it is a decent painting, not a great master for sure, but colorful and impressionistic with thick paint, reasonably done. I quickly scanned the website linked with the "speculations" about China, etc. The frame (stamped Taiwan) looks 60's or 70's and the whole thing seems original to the frame for better or worse, but certainly could have been some kind of art students cottage industry. Interesting to read the speculations. I think the key might be just to list as "signed Burnett" as the UK seller did. It seems to have decorative value, even the frame is kind of cool in a Hollywood Regency way. Thanks![/QUOTE]
