<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Debora, post: 11990097, member: 1476&quot;]It looks like a preliminary sketch and, yes, possibly by the artist himself.&nbsp; Here&#039;s an <i>etude</i> of the same subject done by Gagnon in oil on panel.&nbsp; The original was painted in 1913-1914 and is in a private collection, I see.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.klinkhoff.ca/content/feature/1023/artworks-11703-clarence-a.-gagnon-etude-the-train-1910-circa/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.klinkhoff.ca/content/feature/1023/artworks-11703-clarence-a.-gagnon-etude-the-train-1910-circa/" rel="nofollow">https://www.klinkhoff.ca/content/feature/1023/artworks-11703-clarence-a.-gagnon-etude-the-train-1910-circa/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s unlikely to be signed because, if it were, the auction house would have offered it as an example of the artist&#039;s work.&nbsp; How did they list it and did they give any provenance at all?&nbsp; The elaborate framing and modern matte might indicate that someone, not too long ago, thought it worth displaying.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
