It has been restored twice, one time the guy knew what he was doing. In the right light you can see about sixty figures. It is a harbor scene and looks almost exactly like a Rosa painting in a book I have. It is a different size. An art expert took a look at it and said it was unlikely to be a Rosa, but said he would not rule it out. Off the top of his head, he said it should be worth $20 to $30k. He also said he would not be surprised if it went for $50 to $80k if the right people bid on it. But he stated that it might not go for his minimum and suggested a reserve of $18,000. I want to have someone who really knows Rosa to look at it. Also, I and several members of my family saw the signature, very faintly many years ago. It is not now apparent. Do you still have an interest? If so, email me. I am in a remote area for the next three to five days. Only my kids are home so I am at a geographical disadvantage.

I would be interested in hearing more about your painting and invite you to share your story with us here at Worthpoint. And , of course , any images of the painting would be wonderful.
