Still life with game with monogram A.G.F. on the game bag (Adriaan Gryef Fecit)
The monogram is identical to known monograms of this painter, particularly the shape of the A and G.
This painting is definitely of the time; it can be attributed to Adriaan Gryef with certitude, it is clearly in his style and his scale of colors, the monogram is aucthtic.
(This appraisal will be part of the sale - I was unable to discern what was the game bag).
Measurements:
Painting 16 inches x 23 inches
Frame 23.5 in
Condition:
The painting and frame are overall in poor pre-owned condition, the painting was relined a long time ago with the wax process, the wax has seeped through the old canvas that has a lot of cracking going on, the painting was basically just dark, I had a conserver clean off the top layer but he did not want to go further than that to not disturb the original pigments, he also did not varnish the painting with shiny varnish that is often times used to hide flaws, that means the canvas appears dry and reddish (from the wax), the piece is definitely very old, the frame is old too but has issues with the surface finish, this is not for the faint of heart
