<p>[QUOTE="Antiquefab, post: 9470960, member: 79338"]Just to clear up a few points.I did not say that the painting was of the Matterhorn,but that the painting by A WALTER was a scene of the Matterhorn but of that region Swiss Alps,also his other painting a still life, painted in 1909 which to me is Edwardian period as the dress of the lady would suggest.I was merely trying to find an artist of same name,who was active in that period in that region and with a similar signature.As regards Walter Goodall being the artist well ,Goodall died in 1889,[Victorian period to me], but also that he had a stroke 14 years earlier and was unable to paint for many years before he died. IMO he is clearly out of the running to be the artist.As regards the partly concealed name being a homage to Van Gough I'm not so sure.Many artists used similar ways of concealing their name so that it was not clearly obvious to the viewer.So the question still remains who is the artist and is he a Walter somebody or a somebody Walter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
