<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 165367, member: 44&quot;]I found an identical oil painting by W.R.E. Goodrich. I can&#039;t believe he painted 2 identical oil paintings. Both of them having the same *identical* labels on the back and seem to be in identical frames. Is the one I found yours? Is yours under glass?</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/thomson-roddick-and-medcalf-carlisle/catalogue-id-srthoms10108/lot-05398f44-6fe3-4b09-91ef-a62601012207" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/thomson-roddick-and-medcalf-carlisle/catalogue-id-srthoms10108/lot-05398f44-6fe3-4b09-91ef-a62601012207" rel="nofollow">https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/thomson-roddick-and-medcalf-carlisle/catalogue-id-srthoms10108/lot-05398f44-6fe3-4b09-91ef-a62601012207</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There are 3 of Goodrich&#039;s paintings on the following website. What surprises me is that 2 of them are identical with different titles - &quot;The Musicians&quot; and &quot;Venetian Carnival.&quot; Also one appears darker than the other.</p><p><a href="http://www.artnet.com/artists/wre-goodrich/past-auction-results" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.artnet.com/artists/wre-goodrich/past-auction-results" rel="nofollow">http://www.artnet.com/artists/wre-goodrich/past-auction-results</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Like you I couldn&#039;t find much info on Goodrich other than he lived from 1887-1956.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: According to the following website, in the 1920s Goodrich was part of an artist&#039;s colony in Ruskin in Sheffield:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Through out the 1920s a talented group of artists based themselves at the Rivelin Corn Mill.
