<p>[QUOTE="techbiker, post: 4400022, member: 60629"]Those are just pictures from the online sale yesterday unfortunately. When I receive the painting this week, I will definitely take more/ better pictures. I just wanted to jump on this in case I need to take any special precautions while unboxing and handling the painting given the large crack. Attached is another picture of the front from a different angle. </p><p><br /></p><p>I haven't verified the writing on the back. It's also from the sale. The seller says that the painting is from an estate and the provenance has not been completely verified due to the smudged signature. </p><p><br /></p><p>While the signature is smudged it does seem similar to Cooper's earlier signatures. <a href="https://witherells.com/lot/astley-d-m-cooper-painting-figures-in-a-storm-895320" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://witherells.com/lot/astley-d-m-cooper-painting-figures-in-a-storm-895320" rel="nofollow">Astley D.M.

[QUOTE="techbiker, post: 4400022, member: 60629"]Those are just pictures from the online sale yesterday unfortunately. When I receive the painting this week, I will definitely take more/ better pictures. I just wanted to jump on this in case I need to take any special precautions while unboxing and handling the painting given the large crack. Attached is another picture of the front from a different angle. I haven't verified the writing on the back. It's also from the sale. The seller says that the painting is from an estate and the provenance has not been completely verified due to the smudged signature.
