Yeah - what do you want to know?
-
is it worth more than $20? and how old is it?
-
I googled the name (assuming it's P. Makunnot - hard to tell from the pic) and didn't come up with anything. I don't recognize the name. What does that little slip of paper say, that's tucked into the canvas on the back?
Doubt it's that old, because it's on a mass-produced fitted canvas, the kind you buy pre-stretched in an art store.
-
here let me get some better pics, the name is P. Maisonnet

That certificate of authenticity is pretty generic. The artist probably produces paintings en masse for an interior design company, which distributes them to architects, real estate people etc. who need something to put up on the walls of model homes or office buildings. The painting is a duplication of a common style. I couldn't find any info on either the artist or the gallery, so they're likely not large/important enough to have a website.

A thing is worth whatever somebody is willing to pay for it. It's worth what you paid for it. Hang it on your wall and forget about it.

I would say a reproduction rather than an original. Originals if they are by artists who have a reputation are sold at auctions.
-
thanks for your help everyone :laugh:

i saw that same painting on the wall of the local Der Weinerschnitzel.

Richard, you have in your possesion a lost Da Vinci, stolen from the lorvre by the Pope for the secret religious messages it contains. I would warn you, but the Vatican assasins are already on their way. You will be dead by the time you can read this.

No. I've managed to run a bogus IP address up for Richard. I would guess that he has
at least 20 hrs. to get to a safe hideaway. Go to Salt Lake City, the Mormons will
protect you. Just get to the Tabernacle, and tell them the following secret code:
"I am a self-loathing black man, and I need to screw Jesus."

I got this one in a charity shop years ago for £20. I don't know anything about it though.
