A painting...
(The paiting was found in a second-hand shop. It was found by Beth Sands. She is an antique dealer. She is from York. The paiting is thought to be by J.M.W. Turner. Turner was a British landscape artist.)
(Advanced Grammar in Use, Martin Hewings)
My sentence is different from the one provided by the book:
A painting found in a second-hand shop by antique dealer Beth Sands - who is from York - is thought to be by J.M.W. Turner, a Brtish landscape artist.
The book suggests:
A painting found in a second-hand shop by Beth Sands, an antique dealer from York, is thought to be by J.M.W. Turner, the British landscape artist.
As you see, my sentences mixes up dashes and commas. Is that appropriate? And what about the rest?
Thank you in advance.
