this frowning man was. Lilly in Canada has identified him for me. He is a mystery man no more.
This is Ludwig Van Beethoven Walk On A Windy Day by H. Wulff.
Now you know as much as I do. I never heard a family story about it. It''s very old but it is a print in a glass covered frame. It held a place of honor in the old house. Maybe because the family loved music and it looked good with the Victrola under it. We will never know.
Thanks, Lilly!
