Artist ID help please

I have no idea ... 75,but Wow that’s a very cool piece. I really like it a whole lot. The knowledgeable members will need to see of photo of the back. Also where did you get it? That’s a very distinct signature,hopefully someone will know.

 

Looks like tempera to me (I think)

 

Nothing on the back, yeah i like it have had in my bedroom for years, it was acquired by my late father before i was born. I remember being told the artist was selling pieces for decent amount while alive and had passed that was 20yrs ago? Here is the back.

 

Very interesting i think you might be onto something, i never heard of tempera so looked it up, painted with eggs and very specific look also, fascinating.

 

yeah i really like it too. just goes to show you don't need the most fascinating of objects or scenes either to create something interesting

 

Andrew Wyeth is one of my favorite watercolor artists, but he also painted in egg tempera. One of his most well-known paintings is done in that medium:


Christina's World

 

The medium of the early Renaissance.

i think i know who christina is hiding from

 

Don’t kid yourself, the back talks a lot about the painting. The construction can help date it, along with the hardware to hang it. The type/age of wood frame and the canvas or board. Nails, staples etc. etc. etc… combined it all helps date the piece. While I love the painting, the only thing I can gather is that it is post indoor plumbing.

‘when posting ANYTHING, most everyone will be interested in seeing the entire piece, back, bottom, top, sides. Close-ups. It all helps everyone help you.


PS, and don’t forget that “Full image” button after uploading. That’s our favorite. Oh and add a little light next time taking that picture of the back.

sorry, I tend to ramble on, it comes with age.
welcome *thumbs up*

 

Welcome Marcus,like yr avatar.

 

It’s also cool that you have history and personal connection with it.

 

I love it!

 

FYI I did that hanging system on the back 10yrs ago as the original failed.

 

I used to run out of the house and hide from my older militant feminist sisters also, i know how she feels!

 

The subject of the painting, Christina, had a degenerative muscular disorder and was unable to walk. She is seen here crawling toward her family farm.

Wow,now understanding the painting and with this info makes it truly a powerful image.
