19th Century Oil on Canvas - Listed Artist - Landscape

$2,995 USD Offers Considered19th Century Oil on Canvas - Listed Artist - Landscape

Antiques:Art:Oil Painting:Signed
This expertly executed oil on canvas is in its original period frame. It is signed "Andersen" (the letter A has a right facing serif which makes it appear as conjoined "AF" making it look like the signature is "A. Findeisen". Also, the letter "n" is separated at the top making it appear as a letter "i".

Classic Art Deco Period Porcelain Half Doll from Germany

$110 USDClassic Art Deco Period Porcelain Half Doll from Germany

Porcelain:Decorative & Figurines:Half Dolls
My personal fave! She is also the largest of this group (see last photo to see group). Her bobbed hair and stand up color and geometric appearance put her smack in the middle of the 19teens-30s in Germany. She is in excellent condition and measures 3 1/2" x 1 3/4". You can see that she bears an impressed Germany mark as well as some impressed number (unreadable). Because she is not marked "Made in " Germany, I suspect she was made in the teens rather than in the later part of the Art Deco period ...
