johnnythefox70 Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Bought the house im in coming up to 3years ago and found this painting in the attic. Its in good condition in a cardboard tube and painted on canvas. I cant really make out the artists signature and know absolutely nothing about paintings. Any help of its value appreciated. Im already thinking about handing my notice in and retiring next week! Your thoughts gentlemen👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookandrabbit Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Was it wrapped in pretty paper….. Yes you got it!! ha ha ….. seriously I can’t read the signature but there are several apps that can search for artists signatures and Google can search for images worth a try unless it was next to a tray of Swiss chocolates. Just like the boxes we used to buy every year in the seventies for our Aunty.I knew one person who used cut out picture chocolate box covers and framed them…. Sad oh so very Sad. His excuse was he was a child in the war and they never threw anything out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be one and the same, who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
