Identity of this painting ?
Hi all
I'm new here and have this painting that has been in the family at least since the 1800's. Its about 53cm x 43cm in a large gilt frame. Also there is some damage centre left. Family origin .Scotland- Ireland - Devon ...not exactly wealthy ! I cannot see a signature so I guess its just a student or a "run of the Mill" decorative piece from the period.\ There is a Punch and Judy booth bottom right. Also I wondered if it is a real place - Austria or similar perhaps ? Thanks for looking. |

I'm now convinced it is Lake Bled Solvenia (with artistic licence re proportions) !
Tourist painting....? |

You are correct regarding the location,however,I don't think it is a tourist painting. Check this out -> http://mspslovenian.com/artgallery.htm
Perhaps you could contact Yul Yost and email him a copy of your painting. |

Thanks - wheels are in motion
Thank you Eirene.
Have contacted him and got a reply - currently trying to get some facts and figures on when a distant relative may have immigrated. The origin still a mystery. |
