I have a piece of wall art that I recently purchased. The person I bought it from said their mother bought it in the early to mid 1970's. I cannot find a signature anywhere on it. It measures 36" tall x 59" wide. Here is a picture of it. I have searched the entire internet and I believe it have to be a piece by Jere.

It doesn't look like an Artisan House piece to me,
but I'm no expert. Why don't you contact them and ask? They're happy to authenticate their work.

Cjere bridge
Hello my name is Shawn Coffey. I am the head artist/designer here at ArtisanHouse. I will show this image to one of our master craftsman. He has been with us 30+ yrs. He will know if this is a C.jere
Have a great day.
Ps. I invite you all to send questions regarding any Cjere works of art.
Thanks
Shawn Coffey

Yes, that's the one in the photo that I posted above,
and it looks only superficially like your piece.
And by the way... It's been ONE DAY since Shawn Coffey offered to investigate this for you, Kngpen. Why are you nagging?

I still can't find any information on this piece. Does anyone know a good art dealer in the louisville area that could help me out? Also I have emailed the artisan house and still haven't received a reply yet. Any help would be appreciated.

Does not look like a C.Jere to my eye
Anyhow,I sure hope it is,but just doesn't seem to have the proportion,detail and artistry of the C.Jere pieces I'm accustomed to seeing.
