Piece VI · Painting · Child Portrait

"Young Girl" — Portrait of a Child

No listing Private purchase · no published comparable
Oil portrait of a young child in a ruffled white collar, in a gilt reeded frame

What is known

Bought for $100. No artist, date, title, or provenance came with it — the working title "Young Girl" is the buyer's, not the painter's. Roughly 20 in tall × 16 in wide including the frame, which is about 2–3 in wide, putting the image itself near 15 × 11 in.

Observed from the photograph

Bust-length portrait of a fair-haired child turned three-quarters to the viewer's left, against a plain dark ground that lightens toward the upper right — a standard studio-portrait convention. The sitter wears a stiff white pleated collar over a dark buttoned garment, with chin-length hair cut in a blunt fringe.

The surface shows darkened varnish and grime overall, a horizontal crease or slackness running across the upper left, a light abraded patch at the upper right, and a small loss on the sitter's shoulder. The frame is a deeply reeded ripple moulding in a worn gilt/bronze finish with visible crackle.

Worth verifying

Sitter's genderNot determinable from dress. The pleated collar, dark tunic and long hair are a 17th-century-revival "Van Dyck" costume used for boys and girls alike in later child portraiture. The title is a placeholder.
Original vs. printUnconfirmed. Check under magnification or raking light — a regular dot matrix means a printed reproduction; continuous pigment, canvas weave and raised brushwork mean a hand-painted original.
The reverseNot yet photographed. Stretcher stamps, labels, chalk numbers or framer's marks on the back are the most likely source of a real attribution.
DimensionsApproximate, buyer-measured, frame included — not verified.

Piece VII · Painting · Landscape

"Riverbank" — Blossoming Trees Along a River, signed Morlink

No listing Private purchase · no published comparable
Impressionist oil painting of blossoming trees along a river with figures on a bridge

What is known

Original oil painting of a riverbank, bought for $150. Acquired in Bilbao, Spain, at some point within roughly the last 50 years. The artist is unknown, but the canvas carries a signature in the lower left corner.

Observed from the photograph

A spring landscape worked in heavy impasto with both brush and knife: a stand of blossoming trees at left over a bank of yellow-green ground, a pale broken sky, and a river entering at the right, crossed in the middle distance by a low arched bridge. Small figures in red and blue are scattered along the bank and across the bridge, indicated with single loaded strokes rather than drawn.

The handling is broadly post-impressionist and decorative in manner — the kind of Parisian-park subject produced widely across Europe through the mid-to-late 20th century. Framed in a stepped walnut-and-gilt moulding with a fabric-covered liner.

The signature

Lower left, in dark paint over the green ground — see the signature detail and macro photographs.

Reading resolved: MORLINK. The owner read the signature as "Morlink" from the canvas itself. That reading is now corroborated by an independent documented example — a second painting, catalogued and sold by a different party on another continent, carrying a signature that matches this one in letterform, cursive style, placement and medium. The two are the same hand.

Google Lens's OCR had proposed "Markleuk" or "Marlenk," putting an a in position two. That is now superseded and was wrong.

Two other Morlink works are documented, both in the United States:

Carousel in Fall ParkOil, impasto, "impressionistic style vintage painting of a busy Fall day at a carousel in the park." Framed 23.5 × 19.5 × 3 in. Catalogued "Signed Morlink. No known artist information available." Provenance: bought from a charitable organization in Bremerton, Washington. Sold via MaxSold (Toronto auction), 6 February 2022. The closest stylistic sibling, and the signature match that confirmed the reading.
"Boy Crying"Oil on canvas, mid-to-late 20th century, signed lower right, with a certificate of authenticity attached to the verso. Artwork 15.5 × 19.5 in, framed 23.25 × 27.25 in. Sold via EBTH, Columbus, Ohio, 19 November 2025. A tightly rendered sentimental portrait — stylistically unlike the landscapes, so the shared signature is the only link.

Still no biography. "Morlink" returns zero results in RKD, the Netherlands Institute for Art History database of 265,559 artists. Google Lens returned "No exact matches found" on the signature macro; Yandex returned only generic results. Both auction houses that handled Morlink works state plainly that no artist information is known.

The picture that emerges is a recurring signature on mid-to-late 20th century decorative paintings circulating through American estate sales, with no documented biography, dates, or nationality. A working painter who sold through the decorative trade rather than galleries.

Worth verifying

The signatureResolved — reads Morlink, corroborated against a documented second work. No further imaging needed.
Who Morlink wasStill unknown. Dates, nationality and biography are undocumented in every source checked. Both known works surfaced in US estate sales, which sits oddly against a Bilbao purchase and may be worth reconciling.
The reverseNot yet photographed. A Spanish gallery or framer's label would both date the purchase and localize the artist.
DimensionsNot recorded.
Where to searchSpanish and French auction archives, and signature databases, once the letters are legible.

The signature reads Morlink and is corroborated. The person behind it remains undocumented — style and period remarks are observation, not attribution.
