Need information about a painting
« on: June 16, 2016, 02:57:16 pm »
Hello, My family just found this painting and we would like some more information about it. The back of the painting says "Genuine Mezzo Print Reinthal & Newman New York No.5576" but we can't make out the signature.

Sammy17;
Could we see the front side of your print? It appears to be titled "Dawn", but the only piece I'm really familiar with by that name was by R.A. Fox.

Rauville - is that not the christian name of the person who's written on the label ? Surname is below, i think.

Ipcress;
That's possible, although I've had prints by that publisher that did have a similar tag with the title and artists name handwritten by the framer.

That has the same number as this one, hence why Rink posted.

Following on from your suggestion, Rauville, I found this.

The handwritten word after Dawn does resemble Farquharson

Good job Ipcress; I believe we can assume that's what we were looking for.
