Last one...painting identification

Hi

Last one..thanks

Can't see little dots in this one, I see brush strokes and layers, no signature. Do I take the back off?

Thanks

 

Now that looks like an old oil painting. But decorative, not a true work of art. Look at how it was painted with haste and economy for maximum effect with minimum effort.

Would you ever advise removing the back in search of more information or is that a terrible idea?

 

Well, others may disagree, but... yes. Doesn't effect value but can be a bit of work.

Maybe that's how art collectors of the day viewed Van Gogh's work.

 

Is this one Fairfax-Cameron as well? Looks similar.

 

I see what you mean...not sure, I could remove the back and have a look.

 

Just to provide some closure on this thread, opened it up, original but no signature or details. Thanks for the help

 

And thank you for providing "closure."
