| NICE VINTAGE PAINTING, VIEW OUT of MEXICO WINDOW |
| THIS IS A CHARMING PAINTING OF A VIEW LOOKING OUT OF A WINDOW ONTO THE RED TILE ROOFED NEIGHBORING HOMES WITH JUNGLE FOLIAGE IN THE BACKGROUND (MAYBE MEXICO OR ELSEWHERE IN LATIN AMERICA). IT IS PAINTED (PROBABLY OIL) ON CARDBOARD AND IS PAPER-TAPED INTO WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE IT'S ORIGINAL 1 5/8" WIDE WOOD FRAME. THE IMAGE IS APPROX. 7" x 10" MAKING THE WHOLE PIECE ABOUT 9 3/4" x 12 3/4". IT SURE LOOKS TO ME TO HAVE A LITTLE AGE, BUT CERTAINLY NOT AN ANTIQUE. I DO NOT SEE A SIGNATURE OR MARK, BUT I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT OUT OF THE FRAME EITHER. THERE IS A FOIL FRAMER'S LABEL ON THE REVERSE THAT READS -- MORETT, GALERIAS Y DECORACION S.A., MARCOS CROMOS ESPEJOS DONCELES 15 XICOTENCATL 3, MEXICO, D.F. ALSO ON THE REVERSE ARE SOME PENCILED NUMBERS THAT I THINK READ - 7 7 0 7 2 (ALL ABOVE A HORIZONTAL LINE OVER THE NUMBER 1). |
