Description
15 1/2" x 10" total measurement picture signed by Herbert Schmalts bottom left corner (see photo) has copyright of what looks like 1906? I see 6 people. Condition is good, no rips, tears, very clean. I carefully removed from frame bc of broken glass but I caused no damage.
i know this to be titled Return From Calvery but have no idea of the value. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am undecided whether to sell or not. I do have the original frame and backing it came with, all in tact.
With gratitude,
Marion

History
On backing of paper from frame was a typed article taped to paper that reads "THE RETURN FROM CALVERY" The darkness which was on the earth is clearing away. One long, dark clouds is hanging over the city like a pall. The Virgin Mother, weighed down by fatigue and grief, knowing not wither she goes, is being led up some steps, toward "his own" home by St.John and Mary Magdadene."
Hand written around & circled around the article says "Mothers birthday To Mother- From Jessie and Kirk May 15-1940
