One of my relatives has asked for help identifying a painting, and I have no idea how to go about it. Would anyone have suggestions? I tried to attach a copy of the painting, but it's 1.44 mb - too large to attach. He wrote:
Can you possibly find out who the artist is, when this was painted, who the family members are, and what the approximate value might be on the attached painting? I don't have too much information other than:
This beautiful painting that has been in my family for several generations.
It was given to my mother's mother, Cornelia von Koschembahr, by Cornelia
Roosevelt who married one of my ancestors, Baron von Zedlitz, in New York on January 16, 1889. One of my aunts remembers the painting hanging in their Lake Lugano, Switzerland home during the early 1920's. It is circa
18th-19th century; however, the back is covered with paper, and we have not wanted to remove it. We have not been able to find any indication as to the painter or year. It is approximately 36 x 48.
Can you please perhaps identify the family in the painting, the artist and
year, an approximate value, and/or provide any information about the
painting?
