<p>[QUOTE="Zinnie, post: 436791, member: 9303"]Hello! I've had this painting (painted on glass, in this frame, 15.5" x 19.5", no signature) for half a century now and it was old when I found it in an attic of a house rented out with friends. We were told a German couple had lived there. The new landlord didn't appear to be concerned about any of it so I added this and a few other small paintings to my room (and then took with me...yes). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> I've researched windmill paintings until my eyes are blurred, cannot find anything close to this scene in particular, to maybe point to the artist, or any reverse paintings this impressionistic. But I did figure out it's a North Holland type of windmill. So your help, if you have any ideas or suggestions, would be wonderful. The last photo is the glass on its side with a light behind shining through it, viewed from the front side of glass. 3rd photo is the paint on the back of the glass, the last layer. Thank you for your consideration and worldly expertise! [ATTACH=full]153328[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]153329[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]153330[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]153331[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
