I was thinking the same thing, Scott.

I could see it being a Young image...in fact I can't imagine it being anyone else. I don't know that is it a 1908 circa image, but may be a depiction of him from 1908. Some art guys...isn't this more or a 1920s-30s style?

There are plenty of large, insignificant paintings out there. Why do you think this is a prominent painting? Or that it's been somewhere prominent? It looks poorly done to me.

I think it's kinda' "folksy" in an amateurish way.

Just by looking at his catching hand Id say this painting wasnt done by a professional painter.

If it's really from circa 1908, I think it could make an interesting antique display. I could see it hanging in a bar. The display and financial value would be based on it being an antique.
