WILLIAM E. RYAN tugboat watercolor signed prints - Help please! :)

Unless there is something on the back...all that is there is the title and signature. It would be odd to have the numbers on the back...correct?

The info page is only on the one.

 

Normally the numbers are below the image on the front. Did you look at the print under a strong loupe?

 

Yes. Typically it should be next to the title but there aren't any.

 

Also, although it's hard to tell from the photos, it looks to me like the original works may have been paintings. If that's the case, then there is no such thing as an original print. Many artists today are making giclee prints of their paintings. They're better quality than offset prints, but still not originals.

 

Nice!! I, too , am partial to tug boats..though I have no idea why!!!

 

Maybe...
Manly?
Strong?
Tough?
..........mustache?

 

Hi,
Are you describing "Tugboat Annie"?
greg

 

Ha!!!!!!
-
That was exceptional Greg!!!!

 

I think they are wonderful too.

 

I decided I like tugs because those BIG ship you see can't go anywhere without their help. Heehee

 

Oooooo k then!

 

Anyone have an idea on how much the original would be worth? It's been in my home for some time now...

Hello, Ludwig. You might want to contact this gallery.

I'll check them out thank you!

 

As you can see I have that one too.

 

But yours is a print and Ludwig's is apparently the original watercolor after which the prints were made.

 

That label is strange.

Original of a print?

 

I have a letter of authenticity for it as well (not with painting at the time of photo)

 

Oh!
