7.5" wide x 6.75" high. Not sure which Kobell painted it because I can't tell what first letter is. I can't find signature examples to compare it to. Framed in goldish color wood frame. Pinkish clouds. House positioned dead center.
Unknown. It's been in the family for generations going back to Germany.
Good afternoon, Joseph,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I agree that the signature is difficult to decipher but after looking at the works by several artists named Kobell I think this is by Franz Kobell.
Based on the photographs and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
Franz Kobell (German, 1749-1822)
Rural landscape with house, lake and trees

6 3/4 by 7 1/2 inches
