<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Debora, post: 402205, member: 1476&quot;]Much of C. S. Bennet&#039;s work is early- to mid-Victorian but his taste was formed in the Romantic Era.&nbsp; (He was born in 1800 and had a well-established career before Victoria came to the throne in 1837.)&nbsp; There is nothing about your painting that indicates it is a work by him beyond -- you say -- the signature.&nbsp; (A comparison of the two would be helpful for the rest of us.)&nbsp; As you know, signatures can be faked and often are.&nbsp; I don&#039;t know what your intention is but, if it&#039;s resale, I would (respectfully) suggest you be cautious about the attribution.&nbsp; (And, by way, I wouldn&#039;t call the above a genre painting; it appears to be a regional costume study.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
