[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4617811, member: 84"]I found this at my friend's thrift store today. I almost left it because I couldn't figure out the signature, but it was the only half decent piece of art that came in today so I bought it. When I got home I noticed someone had spelled out the artist's name on the frame in back and saw that I had a painting by W Emery Vizkelety (looking him up I saw that his works have sold at auction for $300 up to $5,900+ !!). But I also saw that he was born in 1819 & died in 1895 - does this painting look like 125+ year old painting? It must have been reframed at some point right? Also a observation - 1st set of photos below were taken outside in sun and 2nd set inside with phone flash - there is such a difference! (I actually think the last (inside photos) are closer to the true image) Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated Thank you!
