    Old painting in frame
    I have an old painting in frame, of two ladies in a piano parlour. I do not know the artist and cannot read the signature... It came from an old hotel in Dallas that was being torn down about 50 yrs ago... it is on manilla paper, very brittle. Need any info I can get... please give me a lead.

    Doing a bit more research for you. If you notice the differences in similar artwork, yours is better represented by the more expensive version versus the more cropped lower works. The painting you have includes the globe (I believe that is what it is) and more height above the grandfather clock. The lesser valued one, as you can see, doesn't posses the same great features of yours.

    Thank you for following up on this... I am completely lost on this painting... Is this a print? And would it be of any useful information for further research to know if this was an exhibit in a downtown hotel in Dallas that it would be more valuable... I don't know what a historic hotel would have used as their exihibits during that time... Do you have any ideas of any place that I can find out more...

    This, If I have my information right, is from a two painting collection entitled, "Reminiscing". Yours being from a historical hotel may have more of a historic value. A large amount of these are replications of original lithograph prints. You would need a qualified expert to advise you more on your painting. Along with the link provided to you was an e-mail address where they maybe able to lead you in the right direction on your quest. Simply "click" on the contact tab and submit all applicable information and they may better assist you.
