Message:: [QUOTE="buyjunksellantiques, post: 64366, member: 658"]I happened to be at the right place at the right time. I bought it from the family of the gentleman who bought the three pictures from Wysocki. The gentleman had them framed. The two still life's have identical mats and frames; from the early 70's BTW. I suppose I should background myself here. I usually hesitate because it gives away my sources of merchandise. I'm not a "Thrift Store" shopper, or Flea Market haunter. I go to those places and found some really nice (and valuable) things, but most of what I buy is done privately. In my former life, I've had the opportunity to work for professional business women who wanted to retain their careers that they strived so hard to obtain, and still be a mother. Hence, I stepped in and helped them with the Mommy part. You guess it, I was a babysitter. Some call it Nanny, other's childcare provider .... a rose by any other name still smells sweet ... but eventually I ended up providing care for multiple families in my home as a licensed provider. The people I worked for over the 30 some plus years stayed in touch, and that's how I happened upon these three pictures, a former family I worked for. No dramatic provenance sorry, just the simple truth. I wish I had some drama to make it more interesting, but I don't. People I've known over the years have stayed in touch and conversations lead to other conversations and they tell me what they have and I ask if they'd be willing to part with it, for a fair price. When I bought these Wysocki pictures, I assumed they were prints because that's what I was told they were. Hope that answered your question. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
