Help identify the author of the picture

[ripp12]

All kind time of day.
There was a family heirloom inherited from their grandfathers and great-grandfathers. For a long time are not able to identify the author of this picture. She is in a wooden frame, the amazing thing for me is written on thick iron sheet, very heavy. Signature of the author is not present, there are small chips, behind the picture is trudeaumania room "289" figures in a height of 20 cm, are only visible at a certain angle.

I apologize for the glare in the photos.
Those interested can send photos of good quality.(quality on the forum don't fit)

Any information would be important. Approximate year, technique, potential authors.

ripp12, touched your request on the boy-flutist. sent your pics to the connoisseur. Here is his answer : "the Original - 1740-ies, the artist Christian Seybold (Seybold). Was known for such rehashes of the French, the work itself in Dresden (the boy with the flute). Replays of his works did that here - in this picture it's hard to say whose is the copy and even the beginning of the 19th century, especially if large size."
At the Hermitage cat - they have 2 of the author (on the canvas) I Guess you better write and send photos directly in the Dresden gallery. They are responsible.
In Kutch. reciprocal courtesy - MC PG-hundred and size

ripp12, Received your PM, but maybe new here-while blunt as replying, doesn't integrate in the options. Draw on the Board of the above: write to any address of the Dresden gallery (both forwards)from the site . In English - will be OK. Apply max resolution photo of 2 sides. You for selling need a clear attribution-it depends on the price, and the difference m b. on the order. Therefore, you will first need to obtain an opinion about the authorship/Dating

Kaestlin, I understand your impulse to do good to man.
But it is not clear why the person needs to disorient?!

You write that the prices can be much higher,right?
Have you watched Artprice so to say?

Specially made for you a few screenshots from this site so you can see that it is impossible to be unfounded.

[uriart]

One of the works was sold for a decent price.
I assume because you have an unquestionable provenance.

And you write for the Dresden gallery.
I have no doubt that they will respond to the letter.
The only answer would have little hope.
Since no Museum worker will not take responsibility to assert the authenticity of looking at the monitor screen.

Dear Kaestlin,I suppose you are not quite in the subject what to do in such situations.

[Kaestlin]

uriart, abs you are right about the fact that I'm 1)not in the subject of European painting, 2) sales (nothing to sell-nothing to buy), and have not watched Artprice, because the amplitude is not uplocheno and uplocheno only oravescent, and once to ask for the password of who Artprice paid. Moreover Kaestlin-collective character, I hope it's not against the rules. To catch a person and cause good is 30 years plus as are entitled to generous gesture sometimes. And finally: very good (softly speaking) know how to make the examination and which meet/do not meet the Museum staff upon request.Not to shoot down the owner with the correct ways. May writes, receives responses, and there too
we'll see what to do next. On request, many markers . which can react Dresden, starting with the basics. What have the expertise on the photo? I've had it written? And advice on photo-careful with introductory: perhaps we cannot exclude that, typically, you will spend? Or is it better to Dresden to unsubscribe-!

[uriart]

Kaestlin, I in no case do not put you as the blame for your kindness for people. Everyone would do! 't have problems in humans.
I'm not repel from the path of truth and not trying.
Just was surprised that you recommend.
Of course they will answer, because people are polite.
But what answer is another question.

And advice on photo-careful with introductory: perhaps we cannot exclude that, typically, you will spend? Or is it better to Dresden to unsubscribe-!
This is also a very big question!!!

Of course, the words "may not be excluded,typical.."it's just water and evasion. For verification purposes, the subject of the authenticity of this answer is nothing will not play at plus.

Read the PM.
