Hi Guys
Thanks a lot,
I`ve been to Paris 8 y ago but as I travel a lot, I have to say that my memory of this place is not as clear as use to be.
However take a look at this pictures guys, its Montmarte by Picasso,
buildings look very similar.
What do you think?

Hello
Thanks for your replies
I`m certain that this is oil on canvas not a print,
I added two more pictures,
I`m not sure where is it, but from my journeys I can assume that this might be Paris, Rome, Milan?
Firstly I thought it is St. Patrics Cathedral in London, not sure anymore...I would go for other large city in Europe,judging by the trees on the street and style of the buildings..

Antique Questions Forum / asian table lamp

« on: April 04, 2014, 07:30:50 am »

Hi again
I would be grateful for any information about this lamp,
is it real asian, and do you have any idea about its age?
I`m guessing that is not too old,
but If its not too old what do you think would be worth, I don`t think I want to keep it...
and was considering to sale it...
Many Thanks
nera

Hello Again

This rather modern oil on canvas is signed by mysterious Grant. I don`t know if this artist is known and if you
came across similar signature.
It is very detailed and nicely done, not my cup of tea however
style of painting show quite experienced hand.
I would be grateful for any clues about this painting...
