<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 19098, member: 37"]Nice painting. I think you are probably right about the time frame. When I see that fine grain brownish canvas, I usually think European in origin. It is not a tell-all characteristic but I find it to be true more often than not. The fact that you have an American stretcher is not always indicative either. The painting could have been imported unstretched. The lack of a signature leads me to think this could be a decorative scenic painting. A lot of such paintings were imported from Germany during this time frame.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
