Pont du Gard  Description:
This
painting of the Pont
du Gard in Nimes, France, a very popular subject, was probably done by
one of the assorted artists working in that region and selling to the
tourists. That shouldn't be taken as any indication that the quality
isn't up to par because the work is quite good. We haven't taken it out
from under the glass to look closely, but it appears to be a pen sketch
that was then filled in with watercolor. It's signed G. A. (unclear
last name).
A note taped to the back gives a quick history of the subject and notes that the site was visited by ATS, MKV, and ETS on the 18th of July, 1929. It's a good guess that the painting was purchased during that visit. Unfortunately, outside the family, those initials become meaningless, but I do wonder what became of them just a few months later. Dimensions: The frame is a nice shadow box, but I would guess that it's 20 or so years later than the art, perhaps not. Exterior measurements are about 14 1/4" x 11 1/2" and 2 1/4" deep. The opening is about 9" x 6 1/2". Condition: excellent with no damage and no repairs. Of course, all our sales are fully guaranteed. Price:
$245 plus shipping/insurance.
Shipping: $19.50 for Priority Mail and insurance. International shipping rates by request. To buy an item (or more), just e-mail us, or you can call us at 812-467-0191. It works best if you include the "item" code to let us know which item or items you're interested in. The code is at the beginning of each listing and is usually two letters followed by a number. We'll confirm that the item is still available, make sure we agree on the total, and answer any questions you wish to throw our way. Checks or money orders should be made "Forrest OR Virginia Poston". We also take Paypal (including credit card payments). We try to ship in one or two days after payment arrives, and we're generous with the bubblewrap and styrofoam peanuts. If there's something you'd like us to find for you, let us know. We're just itching to please you, or maybe that was poison ivy we got into. Remember that all proceeds go to support good causes: my spouse, our cats (see the "staff" here), our creditors, my auction addiction, and the plumbing project that never ends. |
   Guarantee: If we make a mistake, you get all your money back, including shipping both ways. If you simply change your mind, you get your money back not counting what it costs to ship the vase back to us. |
