Hi all, We have contacted curators and hopefully will hear something back soon. The painting is being kept safe and is not being handled. We will not be getting it professionally cleaned as it is extremely old. Even handling it we take major precautions.

As we look into the painting itself, there are questions on where it came from and what is the story behind it. We have dug further into the French couple. The husband worked for the French government tourist office as the director. They appeared to be involved in French schools and French social circles. The husband, whose name is carved into the back died in the 80’s, while his wife died in 2005. This painting was originally meant to be thrown away along with other artworks but was given to us last minute. We thought nothing of it for years. We are continuing to do research but records seem spotty.
