So a fine arts gallery has confirmed it is an original Thieme.  They gave me an estimate of $8,000 and up at auction. This was $ 8 well spent.  Super excited to have found such a treasure. Now people wont think I am a full on crazy nut. Just a partial nut. Lol



Holy CR#*^!!!!

It's every antiquer's dream!

Well done Icegold!!

And how did they do that ??  From pics ??  Don`t tell me you paid one of these online sites to authenticate a painting ??  If you think it is an original,, take it to a gallery !!  Post a pic of the back of the canvas !!

Considering all the rip offs online,,everyone should be pessimistic !!   I look at everything as a fake until I prove that it isn`t !!
What do you think would happen if you sold something as an original and the buyer found out that it wasn`t ??  That comes back to bite you in the butt and its your reputation that is at stake !!
I hope she is right but for her own benefit she needs to be sure !!  Whatever amount she sells it for may not be so easy to give back !!

Great,, I was worried about the online sites that some people use when you said that was the best $8.00 you ever spent  !!  Glad you took it to a gallery !!  Hope it sells as well as they think it will !!
