  1. I came upon a large and glorious painting of cows at a pond in a sunny clearing, in an antique shop in Petaluma, CA yesterday. It was a Richardt! It was for sale for $27,000. but I was told that it was probably sold for less. It was as beautiful as these and I was immediately taken by it. (I've been researching the name of this painting as well.)

  2. I have enherited a picture that is almost Identical with picture no. 5 ... only without the cows on the road.
    Wonder if its worth something ?

    1. Henrik, your best bet would be to have it appraised. It sounds like a copy so maybe not great value, but maybe worth something.
