    My sis bought this at an estate sale in Ozark, MO, for $299. The owner said it was Robert Paul from England who died in 1979. First it is signed Robet not Robert. All the Robert Paul's signatures do not look like this. I think it is a quality paint but stumped and do not know where to direct her. The sight size measures 24 1/2 by 11 1/2 inches. Any ideas? Does it look like a good artist to you?

    What does the blue sticker on the back read? It's not similar to this, is it?

    Yes. All Hecho en Mexico. Likely explains the misspelled given name.

    She paid $299. She will be disappointed. Thank you all. At least she knows. I do appreciate it. Anna

    It's a handsome presentation but decorative value only. Things to watch out for in future: "Made in Mexico" sticker, staples and haste. Re the last, decorative paintings are produced quickly but to maximum effect. Can you see how quickly paint was applied here?
