Request for Question Clarification by eiffel-ga on 12 Jan 2004 09:34 PST

Hi Marilyn,

Here are a few questions that might help in our search:

1. Is this a print or an original painting?

2. Is the signature certainly that of the artist, or might it have
been signed for some other purpose (such as by a donor)?

3. Does it show a male with stripes on his sleeve and a female holding a rose?

Regards,
eiffel-ga

Hello,

I'm afraid that "Charles" and "Taylor" are such common names, it would
be almost impossible to find information on this artist without a bit
more background.

Can you tell us anything more about the artist or the painting? 
Style? Period? Where the painting came from?  etc.

Also, is the title of the painting "The Suiter" or the more common
spelling "The Suitor"?

Thanks.

The correct spelling of my painting in question is The Suitor. It is
an original oil I believe. In the right hand corner I believe I see a
date of 1845. There is a brass plack on the outside of t he painting
stating the artist  name Charles C. Taylor, The Suitor . In the right
hand corner there is a signature. This is all I can tell you about
this work.

There is a Charles Taylor, oil painter, who was active in the mid-19th century.

Two of his paintings can be seen online, but there is a fee (approx.
$10.00) to sign up to the service before you can view the paintings.

The two paintings are:

--Charge of the light Brigade/11th Hussars riding, 1854  1855  15 1/2x8 5/8 inches

--Cutter yachts racing in the Thames estuary  1869  11 1/4x 18 1/8 inches


There is no mention that I can see of a painting called "The Suitor".



Do you want me to post details about viewing the two Charles Taylor
paintings as an answer to your question?

Bear in mind that there is no assurance that this is the same Charles
Taylor that painted your picture.

I an really not interested in viewing the paintings you had mentioned
of the artist in question Charles C. Taylor. If you can provide with
with any additional information on The Suitor I would  greatly
appreciate it.

I have given all the information I have on this signed painting,
including the woman holding the rose and the gentlemen with striped on
his sleeve, which you asked me if it were present. I hope you can
provide me with some additional info.

Hi !

When you first responded to my request on finding information on a
paintingI own called The Suitor by Charles C. Taylor you asked if the
women in the painting had a rose and the man had striped on his
sleeve. I checked and yes indeed each exists. I haven't heard anything
furher from you on that issue. Did that iinformation help you? Is
there anything further you might share with me on The Suitor.

Thank you, 
Marilyn Davis

I haven't heard anything further from you regarding The Suitor. Did
adding  the information that there was a rose in the woman's hand and
stripes on the man's  s sleeve help in any way. Do you now have any
other information for me. Appreciate a response.

I  know the painter The Suitor is not 1945 because they are wearing a
period type clothing. It might be a window box and not a radiator.
When you mentioned that I immediately realized I had probably made a
mistake. I would like additional research.
Thanks for all your time.

I have an oil painting called The Suitor, by Charles C. Taylor. It is
signed and dated 1845.
The subject has three people in it one man dressed in period dress and
two woman. One is young the other older . It's setting is a parlor or
living room. It has a fireplace.I would love to have some history of
this painting.

Hi Marilyn,

Unfortunately, the lead that I was following is inconsistent with the
other information that you provided, and I have nothing further to
suggest.

Sorry that I've drawn a blank.

PS: You may wish to browse this Google Image Search:

Google Image Search: "the suitor"
http://images.google.com/images?q=%22the+suitor%22

Although none of the items shown on those four pages is a direct match
to your clues, you may see something there that triggers an
association.

Ok, I am sorry you haven't been able to come up with additional
information. But I won't give up. In this painting there are three
figures. One man, two women. The gentleman is seated on a   high
backed leather green chair with curved legs. He has grey hair which I
think may be a wig. He wears a long coral top with sleeves that have
stripes on the bottom of the sleeve.He hold some kind of long wooden
stick that is attached to a hat. It is brownish in color. His shoes
are leather black with a sliver buckle. He looks pensive. There is a
young woman seated near a fireplace , she is holding a rose. Her dress
is long with the colors of coral, blue forming a wide stripe. The
sleeves on the bottom are lace. She also looks pensive. She has dark
hair, long, pulled back with some ornament on the top of her hair. The
other woman looking over her shoulder is in a long beige, pinkish and
black dress. She holds a straw hat that is trimmed with black. The
floor is wooden with a narrow  stripped rug on the floor. In the
background is a table with a turned leg. There are various small
paintings on the wall. There is also a long drape on a corner window
which is in back of the seated man. It is covering a radiator. That is
all I can provide foir you and I hope it enables you to come up with
perhaps additional information. I have viewed the links but none have
any bearing on my painting. Hope to hear from you again soon. Thank
you, Marilyn

Hi Marilyn,

The drape is covering a radiator? Then it surely can't have been
painted in 1845, perhaps it is 1945?

But in any case I can't find a match for a painting titled "The
Suitor" by a Taylor in 1945.

Many paintings are simply not mentioned on the web, unless they are
well-known or have recently changed hands.

Unfortunately I will have to leave this question. It will remain
"open" for a few more weeks in case another researcher can answer it.
In any case, you will not be charged for this question (other than the
listing fee) unless a researcher answers it.

I put my comment in the wrong place. On looking back on The Suiter I
know it is not 1945 because they are wearing period type clothings.
Perhaps it is a window box and not a radiator which I believe now is
incorrect.Any way thanks for all your help even though the results
were disappointing.
Thank you Marilyn
