Lovely painting, with some damage. See closeup photos.
I do not know the artist, but am assuming this is either 17th or 18th c.
I believe it is done in the old masters Dutch school/style.
The artists name is on the back, on the frame. They have painted E L on the front.
I believe they also wrote the date on the back, although I am uncertain if that is what it is.
This was purchased at a German antique shop in the 1950s.
Please ask any questions!
