This is an original oil on tin painting of a young woman.  It is apparently unsigned and so we are calling this 19th century American School.  The painting measures 8X7 inches, it came to us in a period gilt frame which measures 12 1/2X11 1/2 inches.  Expertly painted, this is a fine example of 19th century American portraiture.  

This is an original oil on canvas painting by German American artist Hugo Breul (1854-1910)  This painting is signed lower left corner.  The canvas measures 9X6 inches.  The frame is 10 1/2X7 1/2 inches. A fine rich multi layer amber glazing to the portrait.  Very well captured.  In what appears to be the original early Whistler style frame.  We feel that  this painting dates from the late 1890's.

This is an interesting original watercolor on paper, in the style of Homer, a View of the Palm Trees blowing in the Breeze.  The image is indistinctly signed lower right, weve been unable to figure this one out.  It is from the period circa 1910, painted on a lightly textured watercolor paper.  The image measures 10X14 inches.  a few minor foxing marks in the sky, overall in very nice shape.  Framed with a modern gilt frame.
