[QUOTE="Lva483, post: 793327, member: 8774"]Hi, I'm looking for help identifying this painting. It was purchased at a second hand auction several years ago and unfortunately I know nothing about its origin. Originally I asked around and several people (and myself) thought it likely from the Taos/Santa Fe New Mexico region. I've done tons of research and reached out to several auction houses that specialize in art from that area who were unable to identify the artist, and most recently was told by a kind stranger there is no way it's Taos/NM. It was also recommended that I look in the direction of Southern Europe. Oil on masonite board. Incised/scratched writing front lower left. First line is illegible followed by "1955" and "no 3". It measures (actual) 17⅝” x 11⅞” x ⅛”. Affixed to the reverse side is a aged gallery (?) blue and white sticker with pencil writing “82”. There are some newspaper fragments on the back and after close examination, it looks like the language could be Spanish or Italian. Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking a look! Sincerely, Liv.
