Picture of the Week #405 "Painting An Echo" Vienna, Austria 1993 Signed & Stamped

When we went to Vienna to attend the Royal wedding of Francesca Thyssen Bornemiza to Karl Habsburg the heir apparent to the throne of Austria and the Habsburg empire, we spent a few days seeing the magnificent city. We walked all over taking in everything from the Churches to the Museums to the shops. I was mesmerized by this artist copying a still life and how accurate his painting was. I have no idea what he was going to do with it, or if it was for him or for the Museum. But one thing I did know was that it was a damned good copy and one from what I could see could easily pass as the original. All I could think of was; Buyer Beware.
