New PostsRaphael Apollo - 19th century drawing? 1866259,561
There is a problem with the links - if you are linked to the album, please look at all the pictures of the drawing and the tex Dear All (especially Fausta): This drawing was in my family before I was born. It is a brown chalk (?) copy of Apollo from the Vatican fresco of the Parnassus. The quality of the photos is not astounding - apologies, will try to do better next week. The bottom has a text in Italian, which is hard for me to read - I would appreciate even a clear reading of the text (and if possible, a translation). Any idea of what this may be will be highly appreciated http://s865.photobucket.com/albums/ab215/eytand/?action=view¤t=full.jpg http://s865.photobucket.com/albums/ab215/eytand/?action=view¤t=face.jpg http://s865.photobucket.com/albums/ab215/eytand/?action=view¤t=hand.jpg http://s865.photobucket.com/albums/ab215/eytand/?action=view¤t=textA1.jpg http://s865.photobucket.com/albums/ab215/eytand/?action=view¤t=textA2.jpg http://s865.photobucket.com/albums/ab215/eytand/?action=view¤t=textA3.jpg http://s865.photobucket.com/albums/ab215/eytand/?action=view¤t=textA4.jpg Thanks a lot Eytan PS I noticed that the date was cut in the photo: it is 2 Agosto 1866

Old charcoal drawing woman with helmet who ?305,480
Hello bonjour Has somebody an idea of the artist . Very old charcoal drawing on vergé paper with a water mark ( see jpeg4 in tranparency ) representing a woman with a helmet and a bird ( dove ? ) on it . Could be a symbol of the peace . I think of a néo classical french artist of XVIII cent like David or Delacroix but it could be older or from a different country . could be also a study for a painting it reminds me something ... surely not Picasso ! dimensions 23,5 x 30 cm . thanks in advance for yr help regards

New PostsMystery Artist - Help!!269,734
This painting was found in an attic in Connecticut in the 70´s. Oil on canvas, approx 6ft x 4.5 ft We know nothing for sure about it. I´ve had Sotheby´s, Bonham´s, and many other places and people take a look and nobody can recognize the monogram. General consensus is that it´s European (German or Eastern possibly) and late 1800´s. But at the same time some people think possibly American and also possibly Masonic. ANY help or opinions are welcomed! Even just deciphering the letters. I see either D W E or L W E
