    Is it an actual oil or acrylic? Or a print/litho/gyclee? I'm asking ebecause the number usually indicates a run of copies authorised by the painter or whomever owns the copyright. That would make it a limited edition. Can you get a close-up of the signature? It may also be an original and that is the date. It appaers to be the Grand Canal in Venice, the buildings are familiar. Of course that is a popular tourist site and this painting my be a modestly priced souvenir original by an artist who makes his wages doing them for tourists. It's rather common in Europe.

    I agree totally with calliope. Possibly a " grand tour " souvenir of The Grand Canal. What is the signature and what are the numbers. Check the back for any labels. Also, take a pic of the back for us.

    Not dismissing it in any way, but it says "starving artist" to me. We, in our earlier days, went to many of these sales set up in hotel ballrooms - Venice and the Grand Canal, as well as Paris street scenes with the ubiquitous Eiffel Tower, were always popular subjects with many variations on a theme.

    Of course, if I'm wrong I'll gladly eat my words.
