An oil on canvas painting of a young prince or son born of a noble family, 30" by 24 3/4", unframed, unsigned. The boy's face to my eye reminds of Goya, so perhaps this could be of Spanish origin (though, "FRANCE" is written on the stretcher in modern hand). The painting was relined sometime in the mid 20th century. There are some scratches at upper right which appear as white marks in the photos, some minor edge losses at lower left, and there is an even craquelure over much of the surface.

The artwork is clean, although the photos suggest otherwise; there is foxing and soil on the inside of the glass...

If you admire the work of Norman Rockwell, and millions do, as evidenced by spectacular auction records over $30 million, but you cannot quite afford that-----yet, would love to own something that Rockwell touched, then consider this beautiful print, (**ONE OF TWO SIMILAR PRINTS I HAVE CURRENTLY IN MY SHOP**), the title being "Springtime in Stockbridge", measuring 16 1/2" by 32".

A colorful oil on canvas of two women and a donkey or horse in a tropical village setting of Haiti, probably executed circa 1960's or 1970's. The little work, 10" by 8", unframed, is signed at bottom center "Mme Brunise", for "Madame Brunise". The "Madame" is interesting as I have not seen that before on a Haitian work. Condition is generally good with exception of a hairline diagonal abrasion just below the hut, but it is kind of lost in the busy scene, and there is some general light soilin...

This example, found in Maine, is a beautiful example of the artist's work. The paintin...

Oil on wood panel still life painting of ceramic vessels, plate, kettle, and candlestick, all arranged on a tabletop, apparently unsigned, but on the reverse of the panel is a "Royal Exhibition" 1930 label, and there is a James Bourlet shipping label as well. The work measures 20" by 24" (27 1/2" by 31 1/2" framed). This beautifully impressionistic work is likely by a listed artist but I am stymied by the lack of a signature. Perhaps more research will turn up the identity of the talented art...
