Looks simple enough to me: You've got the Lady with a cookbook on her lap, a horse behind her, and what I'm sure is a waffle iron laying at her feet.
It can only mean one thing; Someone is going to be enjoying breakfast in bed, with a course of waffles and a side of Kazy. ;) :D



Disclaimer: OK, OK, I just made this all up. ::)

Good way to get splatter burns!  :)

Waelkd, can you please describe what the underlying material of the plaque/tile is?  Your picture is so large that it is hard to tell what it is.  It appears as resin but it could honestly be stone/marble.

Can you please post another picture of the entire piece (Front and back sides) and give the dimensions?
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

I can't get the last letters in the artist's name. Chap?

It looks like "Chapry".  But every first initial I pair with it, I can't get a hit.

http://www.arcadja.com/auctions/en/charpy/artist/364582/  Adrien Chapry. Frenchman, not sure if this is the artist. It's a different medium.

H. Chapu

This is close to yours. Shown is "Allegory of Truth". But looking at your pic and that shown at the sites, I think it is just your camera angle that threw me off.

Others here might have other thoughts.

as this is made of marble, it should be quite easy to remove the paint,..the paint medium will be one of two types, it,ll either be acrylic..or cellulose...acrylic is easier to remove, you can use a water washable paint remover,...if you are unsure, you could contact a stonemason who specializes in making headstones, and they will be able to tell you,

Well,!!..i ve taken the liberty of abbreviating your username,..i could have said..well done Dog....but...seeing as how i got myself into a lot of bother with my last foray into using words that have more than one meaning..i thought...Mutley was better...see link to Mutley...then you can maybe use him as your avatar.. ;D
