BIG NEWS ABOUT - Original Watercolor & Goache by Elisabeth Sonrel

This painting is signed & monogrammed with the artists' monogramm in the lower Right . Back of painting is autographed by Elisabeth Sonrel , with the date - '42 Avr 8 - in pencil . Above the autograph is the indication - 1/7 , also in pencil . An art expert used the terms - " what we'd describe today as a 'limited edition' original series " to me , in reference to my painting . Considering the fact that it was painted in France during the Nazi occupation , in the Second World War , it's possible that only two from this series still exist . The original painting titled "Les deux Souers"(The two Sisters) was painted in 1912/1913 & shown in the Salon in Paris in 1913 ... it's larger than mine . At least one more , and possibly two , were painted (by the artist)of the original , in it's same size , and sold under the title of "Les Bretonnes" . One is in museum , in Plougastel , France . The original was painted at Roche de L'imperatrice (Rock of the Empress) near Plougastel , France. One , presumably from the series I own (same size & materials) , was sold in France around May 12 , 2009 (under the title "Les Bretonnes"). There have been , to date , no other paintings from this series besides this one (and mine) that have 'surfaced' . It is unknown if Elisabeth Sonrel actually completed the seven painting series that , by the numbers on my painting , she'd intended to . This painting is not a litho , colorized print , etc. Extensive research has been done on this painting I own , both in the U.S. and in Europe . It has been authenticated , but I've not had it appraised yet . I am asking for opinions on it's general value here first , in the event anyone knows . Much higher resolution image can be seen at : http://i686.photobucket.com/albums/vv230/mrgeekteatoo/1of7.jpg I've been unable to find out exactly when this painting came to the U.S. , but I do know that it was framed in New York city by - New York Frame & Picture Co. , 116 Fulton Street , N.Y. , N.Y. ( they went out of business around 1953 ) . Thank you , in advance , for any interest . ******************************************************************************* NEWS ON THIS RESEARCH PROJECT !!!!!
