<p>[QUOTE=&quot;benbenny007, post: 255161, member: 4194&quot;]Have difficulties dating thsee works. They were bought in the UK. The signature reads to me like Minnie Appleyard which sounds British. Also not sure if the first name is Minnie? Having difficulties reading the first letters. Could not find any artist by this name. </p><p><br /></p><p>The men look like they are wearing traditional Dutch dancing clothes. Maybe [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] can help dating them by the clothes? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have difficulties dating this piece. It&#039;s painted on laid paper.&nbsp; From what i know laid paper was used in the before and during the 1700s and early 1800s.&nbsp; This paper looks like it&#039;s fairly early so could be 1700s.&nbsp; They look like they have been framed late 1800s early 1900s.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think the artist used old paper from a the front of a old book to draw these on.&nbsp; Possible it was drawn in Holland when the artist was there on holiday or such and witnessed this traditional dance. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any info/input is welcome</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]79157[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]79158[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]79159[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]79160[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]79161[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]79162[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]79163[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
