<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Misterke123, post: 1439024, member: 13187&quot;]Hi</p><p><br /></p><p>i have an unsigned painting “ nesting swallows”. i always believed it was a recent work or 1913 earliest since there is a number, i assumed a date, written in pencil at the back, either 1993 or 1913.</p><p><br /></p><p>When i looked it up online i found a pencil drawing from an artist named Amalie manesova (ca1800-1880) that is exactly the same. So now i m wondering whether my painting could be from her hand as well because for instance the leaves are painted very realistic, just what she is known for when she drawed fruit still life, and the frame is very similar to frames she used for her works.</p><p><br /></p><p>So in any case the frame of my painting dates back to around the period and the area where Amalie Manesova lived, and thats a bit odd i think, if its just a copy 50 years later then why that frame? Cant be coincidence,</p><p><br /></p><p>here are 2 links to some of her works at auction: the websites are in czech</p><p><a href="https://www.galerieplatyz.cz/autori/amalie-manesova" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.galerieplatyz.cz/autori/amalie-manesova" rel="nofollow">https://www.galerieplatyz.cz/autori/amalie-manesova</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.arcimboldo.cz/cs/aukce/ceske-vytvarne-umeni-2/chalupa-u-potoka" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.arcimboldo.cz/cs/aukce/ceske-vytvarne-umeni-2/chalupa-u-potoka" rel="nofollow">https://www.arcimboldo.cz/cs/aukce/ceske-vytvarne-umeni-2/chalupa-u-</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The work i have oil on canvas</p><p>[ATTACH=full]224167[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]224165[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]224166[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Screenshot of the work i found online:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]224168[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
