[QUOTE="techbiker, post: 4403138, member: 60629"]Hi again, I reached out to Mr. Peterson but unfortunately no reply yet. I will keep trying to track down a Cooper expert. In the meantime, the painting arrived! Although the seller tried to pack it well, a tack popped out and the rear backer board shifted down. The painting appears to be in great shape. I took a bunch of pictures of the front (including with a black light). I also took some pictures of the rear of the actual painting board before replacing the missing tack. Please see Imgur link below. The signature appears to read A.D. Cooper 1886. Let me know what you think though. I wonder if cleaning would reveal more detail? I doubt it was originally this yellowed. If it's probably authentic, it may be worth hiring a restorer. The rubber band is holding the painting in the frame. Moreotherstuff, thank you for the video series. Very informative. Thanks again!
