art query??
Jul. 28th, 2015 05:12 pmHi all, I found a beautiful print at the thrift store. It looks like something that would have been hanging on the wall in the house where I grew up. Does anyone recognize it? the internet has failed. I figure it is from 1890 or so. The piece is a steel cut engraving in a gilt frame, with a wood backing. The engraving is very fine and is probably machine assisted. There is a greek temple in the middle distance. The ghost in the background is my husband's reflection in the glass in front of the print. :P I figure it is an Allegory of Summer? Just wondering if anyone might recognize it. :)
PS, the thing it reminds me of is an old print of The Age of Innocence by Sir Joshua Reynolds. :)
