This is an original oil on canvas painting by French artist Pierre-Marie Beyle.  This work created circa 1880 measures 13X7 inches, no apparent signature visible.  Some cracking to the paint but very presentable as it now appears in a late 19th century gilt frame.  There is little doubt that this is the work of Beyle in style, subject and technique.

This is an original oil on canvas painting of an Ox and Cart coming down the road.  The painting has 3 intials lower right, they seem to read: "W. ?. S."  Weve been unable to make out who the artist was. We feel the painting is from the late 1890's and is most likely American in origin.  The painting was expertly done.  The canvas laid on board measures 19X13 inches and is in a 19th century gilt frame.

This is an original oil on canvas painting by well known New England Naive portrait artist Horace Bundy.  The painting measures 26X18 inches.  Housed in a modern frame.  As with most of his portraits this one is signed and identified on the back of the canvas.  This one was lined many years ago using a clear mylar so the writing can still be seen.  It looks to have a small repair in the upper left corner of the back ground.  "Horace Bundy---painter of portraits, genre, and animals---was born on July 22, 1814 in Hardwick, VT and died in 1883 in Concord, NH. He was basically a self-taught, itinerant artist who started his career decorating sleighs and then went on to painting portraits of northern New Englanders.

As many artists of his day, Bundy went to live and work in the new, thriving industrial city of Lowell, Massachusetts. In 1837, just one year after Lowell was incorporated as a city, Bundy married Louisa Lockwood. A few years after their marriage the Bundys moved to Springfield, VT and lived in a house built for them by Louisa's father. In 1842"

Unexamined out of the frame.  Probably a view in Central Park N.Y.
