    i won this on ebay the other day. i thought i might regret the purchase, but i don't. it may be a self-portrait, but i like this man, whoever he is. it's old - from the 1920s to 40s, and very well done, but unsigned. it came in a very dumb/ugly frame so i put it in a nice one i had kicking around. i'll have to take another photo in daylight, because the light just doesn't do it justice here.

      I agree Ho2....nice picture and the perfect frame too. I get a German or Nordic vibe, possibly the artist's self portrait. :)

      I love the painting and the frame is gorgeous and suits it perfectly. Very nice!

      thank you Jean123! i'll have to cut down the painting a bit to fit it in the frame, but there's no signature and nothing important will be removed... so... i think it will be okay to do that. any thoughts anyone?

      Nice painting, my favourite impressionist style, could be French?
