Orkney / Re: Buckham H Hossack Born Orkney Married 27/7/1875 Edinburgh to Sibla Monteith
« on: Wednesday 07 January 26 12:51 GMT (UK) »
Good afternoon,
I have found this forum just today, and I am afraid that this thread has been dormant for so long, that the chances of getting a response here are very slim. Anyway, I decided to give it a try.
I own an old oil painting that I bought over 20 years ago at the farmers' market in East Sussex. It has never occured to me to check its provenance - it has been hanging in the 'mudroom' for ages. I had a closer look today, and for the first time I've been able to read the signature which seems to be HUGH B. HOSSACK (1882). Do you know if this might had been painted by a person from this thread subject line (this is how I found your forum!). The painting itself is an oil on canvas, presenting a coastal scene; it is really dirty and damaged.
Thank you for your time!
All best wishes,
Kacper
