thank you, but no, the one i have may be a small part of a larger painting in older times. can i i post a copy? from catrina muir.

[Octavius]

It might be helpful if you can post a link with the picture on.

Another painting called �Virgin and Child under an Apple Tree� by Lucas Crachan the Elder is another contender, but in religious iconography, cupid type children and apples feature a lot, so if you can post a jpeg somebody may well be able to identify the artist.

If you've got the picture saved somewhere on your PC, you can copy it into a hosting site to obtain a URL which can be posted here. PhotoBucket is a good one, I use it all the time.

does anyone know the painter? from tota muir

[Octavius]

You are quite right it is part of a larger picture. Sorry it took so long to find, but here we are prevented from accessing some sites, including ones with art on.

Anyway, the painting is called �The Three Children of Charles I� and was painted circa 1635 by Sir Anthony Van Dyke. The full work is shown here:
