American Watercolor Artist Circa 1890.
Vanessa B's Erville Painting #19.

Hi Bruce, I just came across your website after finding an M Erville watercolor in my garage.  It
was my great-grandparents.  I'm wondering where I can find more information on him and whether
this piece is very valuable?  Thank you! Vanessa B.

Thanks so much Bruce!  Yes....This was from my great-grandparents and I have no idea how they
acquired it.  They were originally from Iowa and then moved to Alexandria, Louisiana and
owned/grew up on Hard Times Plantation.  They moved to Dallas in 1927.  

I was excited to be able to trace the painting, even it if wasn't worth much.  I haven't decided
whether to keep it or sell it, as I am bursting at the seams with things that were handed down to
me.  Thanks again for your informative site!  

So, that's so cool that you build guitars!  I bought a junior guitar for my 3 year old (now 4) and I'm
waiting to for him to begin taking lessons.  I am a real estate broker. VB  28 Mar 2011

Dana's mother worked at a thrift store in

possibility her mother acquired them there?

No Signature is Visible
However, this painting has every marker of
being an authentic M. Erville.
There is a possibility that the signature was
covered over by the matting job?
Thanks Dana J. for sharing and for your son's
efforts to take these photos.
