I HAVE OWNED THIS PAINTING FOR 20 YEARS YET I NEVER REALIZED THAT I KNEW NOTHING ABOUT IT. THE PAINTING WAS A GIFT THAT WE JUST MOVED ALONG WITH THE FAMILY. IT WAS A SPACE FILLER AS IT IS 4ft x 5ft ITS SUBJECT IS NOT TOO FANCY SO IT CAN PRETTY MUCH GO WITH ANY DECOR AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A VERY LARGE WALL. SIGNED H. HAMILTON WHICH I RESEARCHED AND FOUND HAMILTON HAMILTON 1847 - 1928 AND HIS DAUGHTER HELEN HAMILTON 1889-1970 THEY BOTH ARE PROMINENT LISTED ARTISTS! I HAVE SEEN EXAMPLES OF BOTH OF THEIR WORKS AND I'M LEANING TOWARDS THE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS MAY HAVE BEEN AN EARLY WORK BY HIS DAUGHTER. THE RESEARCH CONTINUES FOR A DEFINITE ANSWER.
