This is not an answer but I am not sure how to advertise paintings for sale, so If someone could please let me know how to or let me know the value of 3 different prints, they are not the originals but still are very rare, they are as follows: "Vahine no te tiare" (Woman with a flower) 1891. Oil on canvas this painting is by Paul Gaugin.

the second is Erta , this print is the 7th out of 25, I beleive it is by Erta?

The 3rd is called "Kissing Rebecca", it is by an artist known as Dolly. If you know any information or are interested please contact me at matt35_cool@hotmail.com, Thankyou

I do not have an answer, but, I too purchased a home from an older couple and found a "framed print" - of A Girl With A Watering Can, by Renoir. It is very old and has a metal tag on the frame with the name of the picture and artist... I was wondering if you ever found out how to determine the value, if any, of such paintings... Sorry I was of no help, but, if you know how I can get help, I would appreciate your e-mailing me.... Thank you

I too am looking for anyone who knows who Louis DanCourt is. I have a print by him, Left Bank of Paris, also with a metal plate in the middle of the print. Please contact me if you know anything at all about the artist or his work. Thank you.
