I was about to throw it away...

[Bigcypresshunter]

I was about to throw it away, when someone suggested that I check the artist's name on google. It appears to be an original oil painting by a famous artist---Dalhart Windberg. But what is it worth? Does anyone know?

Thanks Gypsy,? That is a good site. Those prices are for limited signed and numbered prints. Mine appears to be an ORIGINAL. The site for gallery originals is under construction. I wonder what one of his originals would be worth? It must be in the thousands. How much does new a Minelab cost?

OHHHH! Almost a very costly mistake bch! Glad you caught that one!!!

And why would you have wanted to get rid of such a great piece anyhow?

Nice save!!!!

Nana, I found it in the trash. It has been hanging on my wall for years and I never really liked it that much. I tried to get 10 bucks for it but nobody wanted it.

I have a huge original oil of a nude sitting in a pink chair...large gilt frame ......signed Renoir....but highly doubt that is the real Renoir...probally a student copying his work...and signature......but I got it out of a garage when the owner died and they were going to bulldoze the place.....weird......wish mine was worth as much as yours ...................Take it to a dealer or contact someone on the web who collects originals ..........

gypsyheart,? I really appreciate your help. I noticed you help a lot of people on this site. You are well educated obviously, and know how to find information on the internet.
I googgled Renoir, and I see they sell oil painting on canvas copies. I goggled Winberg, and see nothing on copies. I hope it is not a painted copy.
I never liked the picture. The mountains look fake to me. But I kept it because it was an oil painting on canvas. I found it the same way. You would not believe the things people throw away when they have to move.? I have to move now and I was going to toss it.
I will e-mail them and see what they say.
If this turns out to be very valuable, I wonder if the past owner can make a claim?

 

[Gypsy Heart]

I just love the research part and reading Big Cy....I collect books and have to read all the time ...will read a cereal box if nothing else available....love the histroy of all things.....and I do like helping others.....but then everyone here tries to help the next person it seems like.
No one can stake a claim to your painting except you.......unless of course it was stolen from some art museum I just hope you can get some money out of it and then buy something that you will really enjoy! ....Where are you moving and why?

SOLD! Give me your address, and I'll send you a check. I actually like the painting. (Especially with the additional info, and for only 10 bucks!)

SomeGuy, That was yesterday. Today I'm a few thousand dollars smarter.

 

[Gypsy Heart]

Make sure you let us all know what you get for it.....maybe you should list it in the for sale ads on this forum....or ebay....

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Gypsy, I'm trying to find out first what is it worth. I e-mailed Windberg at the address you gave me, but as of yet no response.
I looked through many pics of prints, but cannot find this one. I don't think a print was made from this painting.
I hope to sell it soon. Like I said, I don't even like it. So far a nice fellow who liked it offered me 10 bucks.
I believe it to be worth at least 2 thousand.

They might have some info for you at least or know of serious collectors


I would take it into an art dealer to first see if it is an original oil . Look at the back of the painting also ...Windberg would have marked the back of the canvas ...if it is a print ...it would also be marked with like a stamp or even pencil ....like 10/12..meaning the tenth reprint from a series of 12

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

Gypsy,? It's definitely an oil. I guess that it's possible to be a painted copy. It is not a print. The only thing on the back is the words 'SELECTIVE ' and some numbers upside down. ..was probably on the canvass originally before it was folded and stapled to the frame.
I will call around on Monday....? Thanks.

Just a word to say I think is a lovely pic! Hope you do well with it ! Hey anyone after a few years needs a change...that why there are attics full of great teasures waiting for all of us to find our own special prize!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!

It turns out my painting is a fake. Windberg always signs is name in red. I called a Windberg authorized dealer of fine art in Texas. He said that it was probably painted in China. He gets a lot of them. He said if it is signed white, not to bother sending pica.

I guess it goes in the trash or yard sale for 10 bucks.

They make good reproductions of almost anything.

Hey I sort of like that painting fake or not. I'll give you $25 plus pay for shipping(to Alaska) if you could box it up good.

Sell them is a art auction. They are worth a lot more then ten dollars, and I would never sell them.
