My grandmother had a picture hanging over her fireplace for as long as I could remember. I know that she had it way before I was born. I took it about 10 years ago and had it customed framed because it was in much need of repair. the paper was deteriorating so bad that some of the edges just crumbled with handling. I never could see the artist name- think it was on an edge that was missing.
Anyway, I have always been curious about the picture. I found it on e-bay-(picture attached) but the measurements are way off. My picture is very long at least 48 inches long if not more and about 20 to 28 inches wide. The picture attached measures only 16 by 20. the saler has it listed as "The Victorian Lady Asleep with Cherubs in a Dream". Somehow I don't think that is the actual title of the picture and it doesn't reference the artists name.
has anyone seen this pix before? After researching it is obvious that this was a popular subject for paintings but from what time era and where is the original painting?
