any art historians on board?

[guydewdney]

I have an old palette painting by a (an?) L. Lutz. Dated by the framer in 1948, it was my grandparents, and is of st tropz (with a sailing fishing boat in the harbour!).

I have looked, but I cant find anything about him/her. I know its quite valuable, as it was valued at 25k for probate in 2000.

Can anyone give me any further info on said artist?

My other half is a picture specialist (19thC not 20thC expertise) but she will ask someone who knows tomorrow at work. I'll PM anything she finds out.

Very kind. Thanks.

Artnet does not have any history - the only L Lutz listed was born in 1940 from what I can see:

She will have a dig around today, but not sure she'll come up with anything. Sure it's 'L Lutz'?

Could it be C Lutz.
