Art Wanted: Sell your 19th Century Ship Portrait

We are looking for works by:

Artist:	Funno, Nicola (or Fondo, Nicola) (Italian, active c.1846-1865) - Gouaches
Place:	Worked and lived in Naples, Italy.
Motifs:	Ship Portraits of Sailing Ships and occasionally also of Steamers.
Prices:	Prices starting at Euro 500 (Continental Europe). Prices depend on subject, size, date, quality and condition. Please send us an e-mail to receive an exact offer for your painting (free of charge for persons considering to sell their painting).
Notes:	A typical pierhead painter of Naples. His style and execution is very similar to that of Michele Funno (his brother?). While the drawing of the ship is accurate the background is often somewhat formalized and a little naive. Information about the artist and his oeuvre can also be found in our book "Ship Portrait Artists".

Please refer to our page "Contact" and send an e-mail to bais@gmx.de with the information requested there. You will receive an answer usually within 48-72 hours (up to a week in rare cases).
