I don't know any more history than what's in the short description above.  There is no signature on the front or back of the painting that I can find.  I've been trying to learn more about this piece, but I don't know that much about art.  My Uncle told me that all he knows about it is that it came from my Great Uncle Sam Pidot's gallery which was on Michigan Ave. in Chicago back in the 1940's or so.  He also told me the painting should be quite valuable.

Secretary desk with fold up top (hinges need to be replaced).  Nice detail on legs. 

My father bought this portfolio at an estate sale.  It was in with many other things.  It was an item of interest so he just stuck it under the couch and they pretty much forgot about it.  I have always wondered about it though.  It is a portfolio of several Van Gogh reprints.  Each print is in a seperate section of the portfolio.  Van Gogh's picture is on the front of the portfolio and it ties shut.  On the inside it mentions the New York TImes which makes me wonder if this was some sort of "subscribe to" deal where you get the portfolio and then each month or so they send you a new picture.  It does not look like a complete set but there are several prints included.  I have always wondered about this item and if it was worth anything at all.
