Arthur R. Middleton Todd, British, 1891-1966, Etching, "The Dance", image size 10 x 10 inches, pencil signed

Oil on canvas, 17" by 9" and thin original wood frame, signed lower left "M Stuart", depicting a young woman in greenish gray paint. This is more a work of figural art, really, than mere portrait. The sitter is unknown, as is the artist; there is a listing for a Mimi Stuart (1959-) but I am not convinced this is by that artist. Signature looks as if it could be by a British hand, judging from the style of writing. It is a professional signature, though, and this is not a work by an amateur...

English circa 1850 landscape oil painting of a castle (the shape suggesting often-painted Windsor Castle) topping a low mountain, two tiny figures in the foreground.

This is a restoration project----to remove the dirt of 150 years, repair several small tears, and varnish the dry surface. There is no signature visible. This is certainly a painting the cleani...

The reverse of the original frame has quite a bit of information on it, indicating that the sitter is Ambrose Dickinson, one of Anson's nine siblings. (It might be appropriate at this point to briefly pause in sympathy for Anson's mom, even though she was an underachiever compared to the wife of Th...

A late 20th century oil on canvas still life of fruits and flowers on a table top, unsigned, but with a word, possibly Russian, written on the stretcher. The work measures 18" by 26" (20 1/2" by 29" in white framing). I note a few flaws: a very small puncture at bottom center, mostly repaired, from reverse side; and two parallel vertical marks at left, and a very small not-quite-tear at left. All this sounds far worse than it is. Basically an affordable, nicely painted work for kitchen or p...

This is a work of an artist who is relatively obscure today, due to a variety of reasons, including a lack of self-promotion, but in 1934 he exhibited with the likes of Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo, Jean Charlot, Jose Orozco and David Siqueiros, all major Mexican painters and ...

Watercolor on paper painting of a classic stone castle with figures outside its portals, 14" by 10 1/2" (26 1/2" by 23" as framed), apparently unsigned. This is a circa 1850 work which has survived in presentable condition. There is foxing in the sky principally, as shown, but no large stains. To be sure, there were a lot of anonymous skilled watercolor artists in the British Isles in the 19th century, though this might well have been created by an artist that would be "listed" today.
