[QUOTE="Dory64, post: 9727367, member: 17558"]Hi all I am dispersing my late father's estate and have a couple of paintings that I can't find who painted. When I use Google lens it comes up with Edgar Hunt and the frames are certainly the same style as those many of his works are in - but I'm guessing they're a later copy of his style. The back of the paintings have a label - Mill'd Boards prepared for oil painting by Geo. Rowney & Co., 51 Rathbone Place, London. According to Google, Geo. Rowney & Co. were in business at 51 Rathbone Place between 1854 and 1862 - so rather early for Hunt's era, but guess the boards could still have been available? I found one of them on [URL]https://www.artrenewal.org/artworks/edgar-hunt/chickens-in-a-farmyard/11612[/URL] - extremely similar but with subtle differences. Doesn't look like the quality of painting on Dad's is as good close up, but from a distance they look the part. 24cm by 19cm excluding frames. I have to sell them so don't want to misrepresent them so I'd be grateful if anyone could give me any ideas. As always thanks in advance.
