Helene Marie Stromeyer, born in Hanover, August 26, 1834. Studied at Dusseldorf Academy, was mentored by more famous artists, and apparently worked as a nanny in England. Her specialty was floral and landscapes. Her work realizes fair values today, ranging in the thousands. I still can't find this particular painting so can't give you the exact title, but now at least I know the name of the artist. Will pull the paper, nails, and backing to look later at the picture so I can tell you what the work is printed on.
SOLVED: PatSea, you are an absolute genius. Thanks so much for the link to the site, took all of five minutes to find the artist.
beautiful!!!
Thanks for the love, and your sweet compliment, SEAN68. :)
Would be a great help to take a pic without the glass....
the signature seems to end with ....meyer?
What a pretty painting.
Wonderful and a great find ! :) I love original oil paintings....but they're almost as frustrating as jewelry when comes to ID'ing them .
I have changed picture #4 for a close-up of the signature, can't take it out of the frame at the moment, but you can sort of see it a little better?
Thanks for the love, Vladimir, aghcollect, PatSea, DrFluffy, PhilDavidAlexanderMorris, racer4four, gtmoom, and mikelv85. :)
GTMOOM, I can't take it out of the frame at the moment, but I posted a different pic of the sig, see photo #4.
Thanks for the compliment, Nadia, yes, I think it is rather pretty.
Thanks, mike, I don't know whether it is actually a painting or just a print or what. I don't know anything about art, and really don't have much of an eye for it, so rarely buy a piece unless I know the artist or the work. This was just so pretty that I brought it home, and would like to know who did it. :)
Could it say Niemeyer?
Hm. Possibly. Thanks, GTMOOM, I will follow that lead. :)
Oh hah, I removed it, PatSea. I felt as if I wasn't really going to get a satisfactory answer to the question. The mystery of the mysterious marks is one of those things that will remain unsolved, I think.
Try a UV light to get a better look at it:)
Oh, thank you for the suggestion, Trey! :) And thanks for the love. :)
Art experts all over this site and no one can ID this painting??? lol
Trey, no joy. Another mystery unsolved forever.
PatSea!!!!! You did it!!!
Thank you so much!!!!
Yes, I found it -- her!! The information is posted above. Thanks so much for your help, PatSea, and for the incredibly useful link!! Bookmarked it. :)
I opened the picture and it is as I suspected, a print of one of her paintings, now the frame and glass are all nice and clean and everything is as it should be, ready to hang and admire. I love when mysteries are solved, thanks a million, PatSea. :)
Let's see the painting, PatSea, maybe not Zubek?
Also, some painters are local and obscure, I think, probably that site only works when the artist is famous and the works are valuable.
Yay good Job PatSea! Pretty Painting by the way Katherine.
Thanks for the love, vetraio50, Shawnl86, and ho2cultcha. :)
Thanks for the compliment, Shawnl86, yes, I think it is very pretty. :)
And yes, PatSea did a wonderful job for me, unfortunately we did not have any luck IDing her three pieces of artwork. :(
Thanks for the love, sklo42. :)
