Re: Sonata

I have the same exact one pretty much. With the 'tmco'. Did you ever find anything out?? Please let me know!! Thanks so much!

The copyright "TMCO" marking indicates that this is probably a mass produced print, Prints like these were Decorator pieces originally sold in department stores. That said, Paintings and prints really need a physical appraisal to determine what you have and are not good candidates for any online appraisal format.
