<p>[QUOTE="Lithographer, post: 4272843, member: 13308"]I picked up this portrait today from a local antique store that was going out of business. I thought it was particularly well done and suspect it is by a professional portrait artist. There were not any labels or pencil notations on the back. Some very obscured markings on the back on the canvas. The frame is very sturdy and made from pine, I think the stretcher bars are oak. I can make out some of the letters in the name but did not have any particular name come to mind. I was hoping someone could work some photo magic on the signature to make it clearer. I was also wondering if the service bars are an accurate representation or an artist creation. It was purchased in Portage, Michigan.[ATTACH=full]340879[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]340880[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]340881[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]340882[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
