About Andrew Evans
Expertise
Experienced in selling, appraising and judging authenticity of signed original prints and unique works of fine art. Concentration on Rembrandt etchings; Picasso; Miro; Durer woodcuts; Marc Chagall lithographs; Bruegel; Renoir etchings; Calder lithographs; Toulouse Lautrec lithographs; Vasarely; Warhol silk screens; Henry Moore sculptures; Edgar Degas drawings.

Understanding fine art requires one to utilize as many sources as possible. These Pablo Picasso ceramics, lithographs and etchings have several catalog sources to cite authenticity of these modern works. Rembrandt etchings are 400 year old works usually depicting historical or biblical events, and are often seen in a connoisseur's collection due to the complexity of their documentation. Every fine art collector should aspire to learn as much as possible about the artist and the piece before purchasing.

There are many free sources for all types of artists, from Old Masters like Bruegel to Contemporary Masters like Vasarely. Fine art catalogs are very expensive, but collectors can use the internet, galleries, auction houses, and especially knowledgeable private dealers to learn more about works they wish to acquire or sell. And that is why I am here: to help you learn more about the exciting world of fine art.

Question

unknown

Dear Andrew,

I came across your details whilst browsing the internet and wonder if you can please identify the artist and the subject name in the attached painting. It's an original oil on canvas which I bought recently from a charity shop.

Thanks you

Ed from Scotland

Answer
Hello Ed,

I searched high and low, in several catalogs, some online archives, a couple signature dictionaries, and was unable to find this artist. It looks to be a turn of the century, early 1900's oil painting. The clothes appear Victorian.

I recommend Bonham's auction house if you would like a detailed appraisal at http://www.bonhams.com/cgi-bin/public.sh/pubweb/publicSite.r?sContinent=EUR&scre... . And if you do figure out the artist, please let me know who it is!

Sincerely,

Andrew Evans
