Max Streckenbach Oil Painting Summer Flowers

By HarmonieA, 23 October, 2022
Description

About 4 years ago a friend of my husband gave me around 8 of his late mother's antique artwork. She was an antique dealer in Northwest Washington by Seattle. I picked out the pieces that spoke to me. There was an oil painting that I could tell was very old due to the frame it was in, the tags on the back of the frame and the painting itself was darkened. I immediately grabbed it and had it tucked away until recently. My grandmother passed away about a week ago. She lived with us and as I was going through her things I came across the painting. I was curious as to what it was exactly so I Googled the name on the tag "Streckenbach". Boy was I surprised to see how much original artworks by him were going for. I couldn't find anything comparable to the painting I have. I'm guessing it is one of his earlier works but I'm not sure. I haven't done anything to it. The frame, the painting is still the exact way I got it. There are some abrasions on the frame and a slight crack in the middle but I would love to see what you guys think. Thanks.
