    My friend gave me this painting to try and identify it for him. I removed from frame but no signatures or initials. There is only writing on the back. 013.JPG 019.JPG 022.JPG

    Well, the pencil writing on the back gives the name Del Burnett along with that 1950's estimate, but I doubt you'll find that name in any list of artists. Cute enough, but probably an amateur - student, maybe?

    The character is Pierrot from the Commedia dell'Arte.
