I have a signed painting by Carlo can you tell me anything about it, the last ans. i did not like, need a ans.
On the back side of this medival warrior on canvas painting frame, there are numbers noted L169-1974-B can anyone tell me anything about this painting. Before when I asked then mentioned the numbers I was told that It could be a reproduction because, originals do not have numbers on them, I am thinking maybe they thought I ment the numbers were on the front of the canvas when they were not. As I stated this painting is very large in size, with a medival warrior painted on it and a castle in the background, holding a sword in his right hand, a grey beard, a feather sticking out the back of his green colored hat, a red cloke on, green top and pants. The frame is made out of carved wood of some type, with gold inlet surrounded by red velvet.
Front of the canvas, back of the canvas, or back of the frame, “L169-1974-B” still sounds like something a publisher would put there, not an artist. Sorry you didn’t like my other answer. I could write something you’d LIKE better, but it wouldn’t be true.
It could be that 1974 is when it was made/issued, and “B” is possibly the first letter of Carlo’s last name. Or a second state of the image. Or an inventory number of some kind (though why it would be put anywhere on the actual piece is mystifying). I know “possibly” isn’t what you’re looking for either, but since I don’t know of any artists, past or present, who sign their paintings with only the name “Carlo”, it’s the best I can offer.
If you really believe this is a valuable original painting, call in an art appraiser and pay their fee. At least that person will be able to see the actual piece and know at a glance if it’s real or not.
