Died in 1905Depicting a gentleman helping a woman across the rocks over a stream, Details are amazing, look at the lace on her dress!!  A true work of art!!  Many of Erdmann's paintings have sold at auction in upwards of $30,000 and more.  The canvas has no rips or tears, or stains, there are a few spots that the paint is starting to lift from the canvas, this minor imperfection is minimal and very hard to notice unless you are right up close and looking for it, this  does not take away from the beauty of this antique painting, but is mentioned & pictured for accuracy purposes.This is large!!!  The stretched canvas measures 34 1/8 high by 24 7/8, this is framed in a period correct frame, possibly original, overall framed size is 41 1/2" by 32 1/2".  The extremely ornate & fancy gilt over wood  frame is in excellent condition with minor age cracks (mentioned for accuracy) but no missing or loose gilt.  An amazing example of 19th century artwork and workmanship of the frame.This will be professionally packaged by UPS in a double box, the fee for this is $25.00, this is large so the shipping is going to be somewhat high, I would estimate it to be from 50-150 dollars, because of the size the shipping will have to be determined at the end of the auction after UPS has packaged it and depends on your zip code.  Overseas will be more than that estimate.SORRY NO PAYPAL ON THIS ITEM BECAUSE OF THE HIGH FEES THAT THEY CHARGE< BANK CERTIFIED CHECK OR WIRE TRANSFER ~~ ONLYINTERNATIONAL BIDDERS MUST USE A US BANK IN US DOLLARSSOLD AS IS NO REFUNDS NO RETURNSASK ALL QUESTIONS PRIOR TO BIDDINGMORE PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUESTThis is an original oil painting that you will be proud to call yours, this is absolutely gorgeous!  The pictures do not show the true beauty and details that this painting has, a Master Piece to hang in your home or office, or a great investment piece of art.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~NO RESERVE!!!~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~I am very meticulous when it comes to packaging my items (please see feedback), but I HIGHLY suggest insurance on this item to protect your purchase, as I will not be held responsible for the courier's mishaps, ie..lost, damaged or broken items.  I do my very best to look each item thoroughly over for paint loss chips cracks etc...& to accurately describe each item,  I am human and may miss something, all items are sold "as is".
