Painting help?

HI,

I have searched most phrases I can think of trying to ID this painting and have come up with nothing. I do not see any kind of signatures, anyone know anything about it?

Thanks in advance!

It's up for sale through an online auction, I can't inspect in person until the 10th of January. I'm assuming it is right now. Wondering time-frame, value, etc. or just anything about it in general.

 

It appears to be a Classical (Roman) scene of a courting couple done in the late Victorian era. A popular subject for Pre-Raphaelite painters.

I found a web-site and I'm assuming this was just used as reference for a paper "article" written for a school project. I don't think it is at all true, but is the only reference I saw to the painting, using the Google images search engine.

What do the sellers say about it? Have you contacted them with some questions?

 

Good advice above. Always a good place to start.

"Spring Time Of Love" by Paul Thumann

PS:
Originally painted in 1883
The title was associated with an engraving of it.

 

Painter of the White Rock girl. How interesting.

So a copy of a widely reproduced painting with what appear to be condition issues.
