This original oil painting measures approximately 8 by 10 inches (image only) and it sits in a modern carved and gilded frame measuring 13 1/2 by 15 1/2 inches.

The subject of the painting is a European city landscape with people traveling on a road. It is signed FRANK BOGGS in the lower left corner (see closeup photo).

The signature blacklights correctly, so it can be assumed that the signature was painted at the same time as the painting and not added later. The panel board is from the early 20th century. All of these factors are in favor of it's authenticity.

There is, however, some overpainting in the beige or tan portions of the buildings in the middle to right portions of the painting. These areas stand out under the blacklight and may mask some old damage or repairs that are not otherwise evident.

TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, WE ARE LISTING THIS PAINTING AS IN THE STYLE OF OR ATTRIBUTED TO FRANK BOGGS, RATHER THAN BY FRANK BOGGS.

If and when it is fully authenticated, the value of this little jewel could rise dramatically.
