[QUOTE="Kate T, post: 9567074, member: 80083"]Hi Everybody! Had such luck with my last posting (thanks Debora!), decided to ask the community about this one. So, got this painting at a flea, it is definitely hand painted and old (judging by the back, mid-late 19th century), unsigned. It's is 17" x 23.5". I quickly did a look up, and google provided me with a very similar work by Antonio Zeno Shindler "Sunset Landscape with Native Americans." So, I decided it's a copy of a famous work and was done with it. After a few months now, I'm starting to think about it, the scene is not exactly the same, the work I found online has two Native American men by a canoe, this one has what looks to be a love triangle, a European man running after a Native American woman that's about to get into a canoe. And the artist died in 1899. So, the work is very similar, but not the same, and also old. Do you think it's possible that it's another version of the scene by the original artist? And would it be reasonable to assume that someone copied it around the same time it was first painted, maybe displayed somewhere and someone actually copied and added to it, and in oil? It is nicely painted, so I'm confused here :) What are your thoughts? Thanks, Kate.[ATTACH=full]458999[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]459000[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]459001[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]458999[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]459000[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]459001[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
