[QUOTE="SUPERJUNK1970, post: 2908524, member: 17134"]I purchased in san Francisco flea market. I found the sad little girl in commentary subject interesting.. Some of the painting was starting to flake so I applied a light coat of varnish. While doing this I noticed the girls hand up in the air FOR NO reason, it wasn holding anything, then I realized the girl was at her mother's tomb and the mothers ghost was holding her hand.. I loved the way the artist walk me thru a very emotional sad event for anyone but made it even sadder by making the mourner a child. Now I want to know what I own but I have no real clue. I know panel paintings were popular until around the 1700, the little girl is dressed like a doll , the world been doing that since the beginning of time, so it's hard to date by clothing. I dont know if its italian , English, or dutch.. the panel is bowed but i dont know if its due to time or was intended that way. I see no signature. I googled little mourner painting and nothing close to this subject came up. Some baroque painting are made in a similar style but not with this subject. Any help to correctly identify would be appropriated.[/QUOTE]
