    Acquired them together but not sure if the first one is by the same artist.
    I believe the first painting depicts the Acropolis. Any suggestions on the signature?
    The other two are signed with E.A. Höber.I did not find much about him but just
    Ernst Höber ,1883-1966, Munich artist. The painting with the water scene has a paper tag ( I believe by the owner) "Beirut". How about the other one with the ruins, is that also in Athens?

    There was also an Austrian artist Ernst Huber 1895–1960 but he signed his name just like it is, Huber, not Höber. According to this info:
    http://www.galerie-albertina.at/cgi/index.htmp?m=artists&artist=13917&sm=1&tn=1&lang=en

    "a passionate traveler Ernst Huber recorded his impressions of foreign countries including the whole of Europe, North Africa, South America and the USA, in his pictures. In the middle of the thirties Ernst Huber began to concentrate more and more on watercolors"

    Interesting that E.A. Höber lived almost during the same time as Huber and they both traveled and painted other counties.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Although it is the Acropolis, that particular building is the Parthenon. The Acropolis includes several ruins.

    Thanks for the replies.
    Not much left from the temple of Jupiter. It is sad how many great buildings don't exist anymore.
    Any siggestions on the signature of the firsr piece? Wonder if the artist was German too.

    If the signature is two names, the first one looks like it might be "Betty" or "Billy."
