<p>[QUOTE="Jet, post: 4397028, member: 13952"]I purchased this as one of a pair back in 2010 in a thrift store. I sold one to a dealer which was of what I believe were colorful sparrows. What shows of the picture inside the matt is approximately 12" by 9", and the frame measures approximately 21" by 18". I found an artist named Ellen Welby from the late 1800s on line and some years back did see a postcard marked E. Welby with what I think might have been the same picture. It's behind glass, and I don't know how to tell if it's a watercolor or a print, or maybe even a pastel on paper. I can say that I have found no dots in the picture with a loupe. The paper is brittle and has darkened with age. I think the frame is nicely done with oak leaves and acorns. To be honest I'm not really sure what I'm looking at. Any help would be greatly appreciated.[ATTACH=full]371179[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371180[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371181[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371183[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]371184[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
