The second is "Serenity" - slight damage to the gilt frame, again Peerart Productions and the number is 4FT. On "Serenity" in the bottom left hand corner is the mark C FTR. Could you please let me know the history of "Serenity" and if there is any possible value in these pictures.

Thank You.

Both prints are signed.

The name is hard to read but seems to be called Your First Ball Dress, or perhaps Her First Ball Dress. It is a young woman in a white gown, with a woman in a blue gown crouching beside her. They are standing in front of a large dresser and mounted wall mirror.

If anyone could give me any information regarding this it would be very much appreciated.

She used to talk about it when I was a small child - in the 60's, and I know it would make her day if I could find a copy of it for her.

Many thanks.

You could write to them and see if they do prints. There is (was)also a small replica in the Humphrey Roberts Collection. L.S.Field

I've heard of a painting called "The Grey Shawl" but haven't managed to find an illustration or description of it, so I don't actually know what it looks like or whether mine is indeed a copy of "the grey Shawl". I love it, whatever it's called and whatever it's value, but would be interested to know whether it's worth anything. It's in good condition, with a pretty, but not overly ornate gilt painted wooden frame.

If this is the picture the model was my mother, who never saw the man with her as he was painted in later, until after the painting was completed. If you reply to this information with your email address I can give you more information.

The chest behind the lady playing the harp (I did have the name of the model somewhere !) is a Chinese Coromandel Lacquered Chest and was the property of The Duchess of Rutland. Its stand is a Charles II silvered carved wood stand. The gold frame mirror looks as though it could be Italian/French and according to the V&A Museum in London can be dated at about 1600.The harpist is wearing a green dress with yellow cape. L.S. Field
