Vintage oil painting of France. Grand size, framed, approx 37 x 48. Titled (upper left)and signed (lower left) on the painting. Uncertain of age, possibly pre 1960 or much older?
French plate, Gien mark, decorated with a chateau of the Loire Valley, Chateau Chenonceaux. Other plates with other chateaux available. Date of plate unknow, but suspect it is pre-1980.
