Lightly attempted cleaning, merely to see the picture, to little or no success:
The Picture: 
Now it reminds me a bit of "The Gleaning" by Millet - the haystacks as why. The Signature - visible once I cleaned -

Now - I can't make heads or tails of it.
The painting, Oil on Panel, mid to late 1800's guessing, found? Dunno, where I find stuff. 12" X 6". Know who it's by? Have the provenance? Let me know...

Killing time indoors watching "Ozark" with Jason Bateman. Not nearly at the same level as "Breaking Bad", filled with the worst of stereotypes, weak dialogue, (although at moments funny: "Stripping might be every girls dream..."), obligatory inclusions of minorities, but - trapped indoors in foul weather, will finish the season and see how it progresses. Funny, Jason Bateman is always the same character - Michael in "Arrested Development" is no different than his role as Chief Technical Officer in "Office Christmas Party" and this.

And so I finished Season 1. The writing and character development got a lot better. The "Hillbilly" couple - Ma and Pa Heroin dealers, and their "staff" party - made me laugh - been to a few of those, they were pretty spot on for Valley folk, although I've never dealt with them on other than social terms. Maybe I'll watch season 2, but, really, it would be a lot wiser to find something a little more cheerful to watch.
