Help? J. Gerard painting? need more info...

September 14th, 2010, 01:48 AM

Hello all, I am new here, I am hoping to find help here...
My family has these two paintings, and the signature says "J. Gerard" but by Googling this name I found another painter with the same name but writes his name differently on his paintings.
I also found another one in wikimedia under Gerard ter Borch,
but I am not sure if he is the same person.

I would really appreciate any information on these two paintings.
Thank you!

Askart.com for example has several 19th-20th century artists matching "J. Gerard", but offhand I don't see any with the same subject matter or signature.

P.S. It's not Gerard Ter Borch. I saw that entry online, but the "J" in his name is an abbreviation for the Dutch word for "younger".
