The front of the picture. The painting has nothing to do with Asger Jorn.
;)
The signature but not a Jorn-signature. The name is something like C. Jiris.
On the reverse you can see the above painting. But Asger Jorn did not paint it.

This is a very unique painting with art work on two sides. The face side is signed Asger Jorn (see photo for signature). The canvas has been cut and turned around with the original work on the backside. It has been glued along the edges not defacing the original painting as much as posible. It is starting to come loose a little bit on one side, this should not be to hard to get off the stretcher. I can see under the stretcher that the painting is to the edge in good shape. I believe this is the original stretcher for the original painting. I am not sure who painted the back of what looks like a women holding a kid? If you turn this painting upside down you will see another figure made from the original figure. If I was to loosen off the canvas i might be able to see if it is signed Jorn also. I want to think the heavier painted side is older than the otherside?
There is a slit about 1 1/2 inches in the canvas that is very hard to see because the painting is so heavy (it is down along the edge of the stretcher). This can be very easily fixed by a professional.
If I had to guess the age of the stretcher i would say 40's, 50's? The paintings on canvas measures 39 1/4 x 29 1/2.
I purchased this painting from a man that had come from london england that was an antique dealer there as he still is here in the states. He told me the history that he had bought the contents of a castle in torino, itlay and that the castle was called the torino castle. The agent of the castle was matta arte do not hold me to the spelling. I was shown the chandeliers in the sotheby's catalog that he had sold at sotheby's auction house in london in 1993 that had come out of this estate.
I figured that I will put it up for auction to see if I can get a fare figure for it. If not I will just have to do more research to obtain more provenance. If someone lives in the Torino,Italy area this would not be hard to do. If you need more photos or information email me at paulnboys@verizon.net.

The seller, artsy7345, Illinois, United States. Positive Feedback: 100%:
Beautiful "Ballet Dancer" painting signed in the lower left "Marc Chagall".
Consisting of watercolor and graphite medium on heavy paper, this very special painting is symbolic of Chagalls passion for the Ballet.
Paper is in good shape and is nicely sized at aprox. 38.2cm x 30.4cm. Preserved with all archival framing and hinges with classic fabric matting and protective UV3 Plexi-Glass. Frame measures aprox. 62.3 cm x 54.5cm.
The "Ballet Dancer" painting was part of the estate of Mr. Terry O'laghlen, a retired geologist by profession. It was acquired by him at an art auction in Frankfurt, Germany, he recalled it between the years 1957 and 1959. I acquired the piece through a series of private auctions that were held to liquidate some of his fine art collection as a result of his retiring from Calgary, Canada to his new home in Ireland, his native country. Mr. O'laghlen was in his mid 80's when we purchased this lovely painting.
The original letter to us from Mr.O'laghlen will accompany the painting along with our own transfer documentation.
Health and retirement force the sale of this very special painting from our private collection.
Please remember that this is not a print of any kind, it is an original watercolor painting. Please ask all the questions you like. All sales are final. Thank you for having a look.
