<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 3735200, member: 10944&quot;]Went to pick up some artwork from an online auction purchase. Got there and there was a few pieces leaning against the wall and I was basically the last one picking stuff up. I asked if they were getting tossed (all had some apparent damage) and they said yes and that I could have it all. I posted another one of those paintings a while ago. This one has been sitting in my clear view for at least half a year because it’s kind of hard to stash away with the delicate frame. In that time I’ve fallen for it. Not sure if it’s worth getting fully restored as it sits. Obviously that’s one large tear. I was thinking of possibly getting it clipped just to the right of the giant tear and having some matting cover up the cut in a reframe. Interestingly I just sold a guy a table who told me he loves frames and used to own a frame shop. He told me he’d be interested in buying any good Victorian era frames I find. Was considering proposing a trade with him. He removes and reframes this for me in a frame I supply and he keeps the frame this is in. Not sure if that’s fair or not but that’s for him to decide. In addition to wondering if it’s worth restoring I was curious to know if anyone can help ID the artist and origin? With the windmill I was wondering if it was Dutch? Looks Northern European at least I think. I can’t even guess at the name. Maybe someone else has an idea? Anyways figured I’d share and I always like to hear others opinions.
