A Little Bit Of Detective Work Needed.

If you were an art dealer asked to sell the painting pictured in the link how would you know it was a wrong 'un?

[sandyRoe]

Just a bit of fun to exercise  'the little grey cells'.

That frame is from B&M. :0)))

The carriages are driving on the wrong side of the road if it's Paris?

Or is it the Blackpool Tower?

Bottom right of the link is Pornhub!

[sandyRoe]

It might be a one way street.

Let's assume it's Paris.  A painting of Blackpool wouldn't attract art connoisseurs.

I know, Sandy, was just my little bit of fun :))

I'm sure Blackpool is lovely.

I thought the carriages were going is opposite directions, but I am often wrong. I like these sort of puzzles,  am completely useless at them!

[jackthehat]

Hmmmm....sandy's has an additional/larger carriage in the centre of the picture. But I am not sure I would have known that without seeing the one in webbo3's link.

[webbo3]

Loads here and they al look similar

[sandyRoe]

Webbo3s painting is similar but not the same.

The frame has no relevance.

I cast no aspersions on Blackpool.  I'm sure it's a lovely place.

[jackthehat]

sandyRoe - True, but your version seems to be a cut and paste version of several of those shown in webbo3's later link.

[albaqwerty]

Maybe , just maybe, it's not a wrong 'un?

[sandyRoe]

Yes.  I think they're all mass produced in China.  And all signed, 'Palsey', which is an old fashioned word for a hand tremor.

There's something incongruous in the image which gives it away.

[jackthehat]

Woman on mobile 'phone?.......boy on skateboard?......

Anachronistic, incongruous or just poorly executed?

 

[Ken4155]

The foremost person in the painting (above the l and s of the name Palsey) appears to have bug eyes and horns growing out of his head? Wish i had a magnifying glass in order to see it better.

[albaqwerty]

I can't find anyone wearing a digital watch either.

[THECORBYLOON]

The "horns" are the outline of a face/head.

[sandyRoe]

jackthehat

With anachronistic you're getting close.

[Tilly2]

Street lights?

[Patsy33]

Wooden wheels on horse drawn carriages, perhaps changed to metal in the late 1800s?

[jackthehat]

There has never been such a vista toward the Eiffel Tower?
