Author: This appears to be by Pierre-Auguste Lamy (1827- c. 1880) This would, obviously, be one of his last works. The signature resembles other signatures by him. See the other images in this set for other examples of the artist's signature. Restored by Adam Cuerden. Restoration note: The rotation is a compromise between three things: 1. trying to get horizontals and verticals straight. 2. Not wanting to crop the detailed painting in the upper left. and 3. Wanting to limit the amount of reconstruction in the upper right needed because of the rotation (the top edge isn't parallel to the lines meant to be horizontal), so as to not put too much of myself into the image. I went with keeping pretty much all the detail in the upper left, but rotating about two tenths of a degree short of the ideal. Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:48, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
