That's the AI description, here's mine. So this may be long. This is VERY old, the back shows the age too, it actually was taken from an old abandoned Victorian where it had hung in the same place, slowly being sun faded for god only knows how long. The thing that grabbed me is the signature, it has the name clearly Arline and I THINK the last name Kush, and then below it it says "13 years", now I don't know if She was 13 yrs old at the time, or that's a title, or how long it took? Lol no idea, but if it WAS painted by a teenage girl around 1900 and then hung in a creepy old house for nearly a century untouched it HAD TO BE SAVED!It def needs some TLC, but just the story, the history, the MYSTERY makes it worthwhile for sure. I nearly kept it but don't have the space. The worst that can happen is I say no, so don't be afraid to make an offer! This really boggles my mind when I stop and THINK how this painting may have been done by a young girl and then SOMEHOW hung all that time and didn't get broken or stolen or vandalized is shocking..
And I will make it my mission to try to find the history of the artist. All the family dramas this painting witnessed. Happy times and sad ones and all the while, there they hung, the beautiful purple flowers someone painted soooo very long ago. The births and deaths, keeping vigil. I'm like 90 percent certain THIS is the house this painting came from. Without going into details let's just say, a friend does a lot of urban exploring and said "when I saw the signature and it was a child, I HAD to save it" and we are in New York and he lives near there AND he described it like this soooooo. He ALSO swears the place is haunted and he speculated (total bs) that was the reason it had never been vandalized. Just came across this article and I live to look at old abandoned places and as I read on more and more I thought this had to be the place. He refused to tell me the exact spot I guess to keep vandals away. This was like two yrs ago. Anyway so I just added the link.I may put photo in pics because this link is very long to copy.
