Maurice Utrillo?
« on: September 04, 2012, 02:53:16 pm »
Hi guys, a comlete novice here. Bought a picture for my girlfriend in a small village antique shop. I have researched the autor and given how much I have pay for it, it has to be a reproduction, or is it?? It is visibly an old oil painting, in good condition, about 35x40 cm. What you guys think??

I can make out the "Artists"...first name as being Maurice...but not the whole of the surname...perhaps you can write it down for us...

thnx for da link, will have to take it to couple of dealers to have it looked at. His stuff seem to be going for anything between 40-200 000 US and simply cannot belive that my 20£ painting could be worth that much  ::)
