Hi,
Can you please let me know what your source was for this painting?
Where is the painting based?
Thanks.
S
Probably one of the websites that collect auction results, but I cannot remember which at the moment. Sorry. Marco
Hi Marco,
Thanks for your message.
I also recall seeing it on an auction website, but like you can’t remember which one it was.
By the way, I really enjoy your Blog. I’ve been following it for some time, but not posted a comment before.
I’ve loved Edward Lear since I was a young child.
I think he’s so underrated and I’m glad that you’re raising his profile with your Blog.
Thanks for all your hard work.
Every good wish,
Sally
that’s lovely
