Do you also read Renoir in this signature?

    I don't think its real anyway. too good to be true. Expertise costs between £500 to £1500 to get a yes or no which is gambling. My changes are now 1 to 99 if not 99999...

    It will still be a reproduction, even if hand painted & signature does say Renoir. I have one with a copy of Raphael's Madonna del Cardellino. On some, like mine, the 'ivory' is Celluloid or similar; others appear to be bone. Can't form an opinion from your photos. I have the impression these were popular in South America at one time.

    thank you Bronwen. Yes thinking the same. The frame is worth more than the picture. It is a ivory frame.

    Don't be too sure. This is mine:

    And this is the reason I no longer keep it at my desk, where I often drink coffee:
