<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 328541, member: 84&quot;]I won this ld painting at a auction today - $35! So even though it has some damage I thought it was worth it?</p><p><br /></p><p>The auctioner said it was by &quot;Schartt&quot; but I think it&#039;s &quot;Scharff&quot; - and the purple in the sky makes me think it may be by Erma Scharff - a German artist September 9/9/1895 -3/1/1982</p><p>(<a href="http://www.askart.com/artist/Erna_S_Scharff/11240651/Erna_S_Scharff.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.askart.com/artist/Erna_S_Scharff/11240651/Erna_S_Scharff.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.askart.com/artist/Erna_S_Scharff/11240651/Erna_S_Scharff.aspx</a>)</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus, besides spelling out her last name instead of script as the artist of my painting does; the top of the S is flat instead of curved - like mine also.</p><p>Example: <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Early-Vintage-ERNA-SCHARFF-Original-Oil-on-Canvas-Painting-Country-Cottage-/331966239565" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Early-Vintage-ERNA-SCHARFF-Original-Oil-on-Canvas-Painting-Country-Cottage-/331966239565" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rare-Early-Vintage-ERNA-SCHARFF-Original-Oil-on-Canvas-Painting-Country-Cottage-/331966239565</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It measures 40&quot; x 30&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I remember paintings are repaired by adding a 2nd piece of canvas over the tear &amp; then painting it the same color? Could/should I do that with this one? Is it worth having it repaired professionally? </p><p><br /></p><p>Any thoughts would be appreciated!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]109753[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]109754[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]109755[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
