Alegría Family painting
possible Goya painting

This painting was brought to my attention by Alejandro Lugo who writes:

"The painting was purchased in Bordeaux approximately 30 years ago. It is my grandmother's painting, and it was purchased by her husband. He passed away a few years ago, and she just recently sold her home to move in with my mother. She is now selling those items that she no longer wishes to keep b/c of the memories of her late husband. Although, as an artist, I would love to keep the painting for myself, it is not my choice to make, and I am executing her wish to sell those items which she would no longer wish to keep - this Goya is one of those pieces. She also has several other paintings for sale - a Renoir, a Johan Davidsz Heem (two), and a Eugenio Lucas (three of them actually). It is more than likely that this (and the others) painting will go up for auction at Christie's in the months to come, but she has yet to excercise that choice, as my grandmother likes to personally select those to whom she wishes to sell the painting(s).

You MAY publish the photo on your website. However, I politely request that it remain on your website only as long as it is in our possession. Once it has been sold, as a courtesy to the buyer, please promptly remove the painting from your website. It will be up the new owner's discretion if he would like to keep it posted. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do that would be of assistance, and thank you for your help."
