<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 1739532, member: 6444&quot;]Here&#039;s another piece that I am probably insane to hold onto, but I think it is very skillfully done. The painting is only 9&quot;x12&quot;, and incredibly detailed. Looks to be 19th century or so from the back, and I also think stylistically looks to be prior to the 20th century. Not clear whether it was once signed and the signature flaked off, or if it was never signed. I think an original piece not based on a print. Maybe identifying the bird species would be somewhere to start? Does anyone have a clue?</p><p><br /></p><p>Obviously needs a serious cleaning, and losses are significant. So what would you do with this piece? Is it worth trying to restore? Is it worth trying to research, and if so is there any way to do so?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]238316[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238317[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238318[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238319[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238320[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238321[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]238322[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
