Featured Antique Painting Identification

Hi, can anyone help me with this painting identification. It is unsigned. The frame itself is 46 x 33 inches, so the painting is fairly large. It is a landscape with some cattle in a beautiful gold gilt frame. I'm going to guess that it is a 19th century British/European school painting. Anyone else have any ideas. I really am not an expert with paintings.

 

Could well be Hudson River School. Here's something similiar (but of better quality) -- Landscape with Cows Watering in a Stream by Robert S. Duncanson -- in The Met's collection.

Thanks. So you would lean more towards it being American vs. British? I was thinking Hudson River as well. Would this have value over a few hundred, being of large size and of 19th century, likely?

 

Don't lean either way. Can't imagine terribly valuable if no signature or identifiable locale. Just to give you some (rough) idea of auction prices...

Yes, but some of the unsigned larger pieces do tend to bring in some value. Here is one about half the size, unsigned and not that much nicer that went for $500.

I'm guessing the frame mine is in is worth about $200. It's 46 x 33, original gilt gesso ornate.

 

Really, I have no idea as to value. But it's a very attractive painting, in a very attractive frame. Sure to find a market (if that's your intention.)

Thank you Debora. Yes, I do believe I will be able to find some market for it. Thanks for all of your help.

 

A look at the back might help us determine more.

 

I will post that later this week. I have this in storage and don't have photos of the back right now.

 

Very nice painting. Could we also see some more close ups?

 

+1!
And taking it down from the frame, if possible might help as well.
Some times signatures are hidden by the frame.

 

It looks like a cheap and nasty Chinese frame. More photos are needed of the painting -- including of the back, the canvas, the tacks, the frame ...

 

May I ask why you say it looks like a cheap and nasty Chinese frame?

 

I'm going to have to disagree on the frame. There is another one similar with another similar style painting that I have from the same home, and it clearly has acanthus flowers and leaves in the middle of it, and the larger leaf and berry design around. There is also a flower bud leaf over leaf design in the second inner frame of the frame (sorry don't know what to call it) that I have seen in other period frames. It would have to be a pretty good reproduction, but I'll have to check the back etc a little more later this week.

 

Hi Kellaurm,
i agree with the frame not being Chinese. I have several using a lot of the details on yours and I know for a fact that they are 18th and 19th century.

Hi Kellaurum,
Don't know about your painting, just wanted to say Welcome to the forum!

 

Kellaurm has been around for a while, since 2016. That 'New Member' thing stays there longer if you don't post much.
You have been such an enthusiastic (and valued) poster, that you are already a 'Well-Known Member'.

 

My Apologies!

 

No need to apologize for being kind, I thought it was a very nice gesture. And I'm sure kellaurm felt even more welcome than she already was, especially being welcomed by such an adorable little puppy.

 

One should never have to apologize for being kind.
