    Just bought these at a car boot. Both oils, both nicely done and both signed.

    The G Willis Pryce one is pretty easily identified and is in nice condition for a fiver, but the other one isn't in great condition, but is well done. The signature is baffling me though, so any help will be appreciated.

    The first one should turn a profit on a fiver, but the second one might fail at £4. It does have a nice frame, but I took it out to find and photograph the faint signature.

    Help!

    Definitely the Flemish School. Dick Van Dyke is my guess. Worthless probably.


    Happy to help :thumbsup:

    The sealer has crazed, yet it would be interesting to find the artist.

    Looking at the signature I'm pretty sure it's by that well known P*ss take artist B. Haynes!
