[QUOTE="Lord_Dee, post: 161698, member: 2449"]I've acquired an old painting on canvas of a rural scene showing a decrepit cottage with a young girl walking past. The picture is 14" x 10" and the frame the canvas is mounted on is of hand-cut wood. It has been reframed in an awful 1960s white frame at some point. The backing paper on the rear has mostly peeled off and there is a number "5664"written on the back in pencil and the signature on the front of the canvas is indistinct but appears in part to be "...les Phill..". I'm wondering is this painting might be by Giles Firman Phillips, who was better known as a watercolourist and engraver, but I've found one image of an oil by him online which appears to be in a similar style (Syon Park) at [URL]http://www.artnet.com/artists/giles-firmin-phillips/the-pleasure-park-at-syon-house-av1xhh2c5PXP_saMXvK4Ew2[/URL] Of course I could be completely wrong and this is by a Victorian amateur! Any opinions would be welcome.[ATTACH]44142[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]44143[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]44144[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]44142[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
