<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3426597, member: 8363"]The subject matter of this small painting that including the oval frame is 6 3/4" tall and 4 3/4" at it's widest point is unremarkable, but it is clearly hand painted and signed. My question is do you think it is decorator art from an earlier time? Or just a contrived piece from a modern art mart. The reason I think it might be earlier is the wood insert that holds it in it's frame and the tiny nails that keep it there. My purpose in asking this question is to see what matters in a piece like this. If you will help me with any comments, I would very much appreciate it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]302601[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302602[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302603[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302604[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302605[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302606[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302607[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302608[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]302609[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
