Water Color Painting By 19th Century Artist Amedee Forrestier

By Lady Diana, 19 June, 2008
Description

Artist Armadee Forrestier was a Frenchman who lived and worked in London during the 19th Century (1854-1930).  His work was featured in such galleries as the Walker Art Gallery, the Royal Academy and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.  He was also an illustrator and his worked appeared in The Illustrated London News and The Times and many, many books.  It is reported that his work does quite well at auction.  My painting is what appears to be a color print of a water colour of two turn-of-the century young women (circa:  1900) who are both seated in front of a fireplace; one reading and seated in a nearby sofa and one seated on the floor directly in front of the fireplace fanning herself.  There is a penciled inscription on the back cover of the painting that reads.....214. Reading Series, which is taped and centered at the bottom of the back cover.  Would love to download an image, but my attempts to do this proved to be fruitless, because the image is underglass.  I believe it may be rare, of course :), any ideas out there on its value, please feel free to email me at [email protected] -- I know it's worth more than the $4.99 I paid as his posters on a Website sell for $50.00 each.  Thanks so much, Lady Diana, USA
