<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 1425704, member: 6444&quot;]I don&#039;t think a professional painter, since face has issues (eyes too high) and head position not right for the body. Has a folk-art feel to it for that reason, but don&#039;t think this qualifies as folk art (some may disagree). Could have been painted after he died, but probably painted in the mid 1800&#039;s while he was alive, but labelled on the back afterwards by a relation. You can find him in England if you google, maybe some relative would want to buy it?</p><p><br /></p><p>If you can find the barnebys auction price then you&#039;ll know how much the current seller paid. He was probably hoping to find a signature, which is why he removed it from frame. Frame doesn&#039;t look original to me - probably from an old print that matched the size.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suspect this isn&#039;t worth much more than the current owner paid (though I don&#039;t know how much that was). But if you like it and want to keep it, then may be worth negotiating for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
