Question A family member has a beautiful pen & ink original,60cm x30cmm of what we think is Notre Dame Cathedral Reim. The signature looks very like Richard D Winter but we are not sure.Can anyone help with some information on an artist with this name or a similar name.?
Answer Hello Lucy - and thank you for your question. Regretably, I am unable to help. I have never heard of an artist by the name of Richard D Winter (or anything close to that). You say that you think the scene is Notre Dame at Rheims - is there also a date or any other identifying mark that might help 'place' the artist. Is there a definable 'style' to the watercolour (e.g. does it attempt a 'photographic' view or something more impressionistic.) If we can identiy a style and a rough dating, it might help uncover more information. I am sorry I am no help at this point, but if you find any more clues, I will be happy to continue a search for you. (can you send me a link to an image of the work?)
