The painting shows a captivating scene of a lady with her daughter who is riding on the back of a large dog that is wearing a blue ribbon. There are trees a staircase and a castle-like estate in the background. The painting is signed Paredes in the lower right corner and is guaranteed authentic - painted by the hand of Vicente Garcia De Paredes. The painting itself without the frame measures 10 3/4" wide and 16 1/4" high. The frame is large and may give the impression that the painting is a miniature but it is not. The overall size of the painting framed is 20 5/8" wide and 25 3/4" high. The painting is in excellent condition, there are no rips, tears or punctures in the canvas and there are no touch-ups to the paint. The painting does not look dirty but I believe it could be cleaned. The frame is old and gives a good presentation for the painting but does have numerous small areas where the ornamentation on the frame has flaked-off and has been touched-up.  I prefer to be paid with PayPal and require payment with PayPal for international buyers. I will do an excellent job of packaging the painting in a plywood crate that I will make for it. I will insure and ship the painting anywhere in the U.S lower 48 for $75. I will ship internationally for the actual shipping cost plus the cost of insurance.I believe this painting is of a superior investment quality and is in a league of its own. The novel scene of a little girl on the back of the large dog beside her beautiful mother makes this a delightful and exceptionally  desirable example of De Paredes work. This is an opportunity to own an original museum quality Vicente De Paredes painting at a price where paintings of this importance are seldom found.  If you have any questions please contact me, if you would like to talk to me about the painting I will email you my phone number, as with all my auctions satisfaction is guaranteed.
