[QUOTE="David Askett, post: 7291028, member: 4727"]I’m fascinated by this painting found today in a second-hand shop. To me, it looks like a wrecked locomotive framed by a sword on one side and bayonet on the other. In the background is a tower, that may be a German flak tower. Berlin at the end of the war? [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/JsGcYFk.jpg[/IMG] The signature seems to be the initials “O.M.”. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/WVxR8SJ.jpg[/IMG] On the back of the picture is a second picture, which appears to be a scene in a grand house or palace. In the bottom right corner is a Soviet stamp and some handwriting that I can’t quite decipher. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/SiI8Dmn.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/aYxgNTH.jpg[/IMG] There’s also a page with, I believe, Lithuanian writing taped to the glass over the picture: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/c18VTCP.jpg[/IMG] Could these pictures be set designs for a play or movie? Would love to know what you think![/QUOTE]
