<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dude, post: 4361683, member: 13170&quot;]Hi All:</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure if I posted the painting when I was new to the site and on my creepy clown posting kick, but either way, I&#039;m still trying to ID this painting.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems to me that the sig is Sr. (Sister?) M. Emerentia. I believe Emerentia is a name that Catholic tradition associates with the grandmother of Jesus&#039; mother, Mary, as well as a 3rd or 4th Century martyred saint from Rome whose feast day is observed/ celebrated on 1/23 each year. Given those associations, it would make sense that a sister, or nun, would choose (or be given by the Mother Superior) that novitiate name.</p><p><br /></p><p>If the artist was indeed a nun named Sister M. Emerentia, the strongest lead I have so far is this ridiculously long Ursuline Sisters obit: <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Sr.+M.+Emerentia+artist&amp;rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS835US835&amp;sxsrf=AOaemvIWK1oqyVIeo37SGISL70LdBGv1DA:1638931166601&amp;tbm=isch&amp;source=iu&amp;ictx=1&amp;fir=vXK7QHXsxHK2rM%252C5qqtZXI7ZOpcHM%252C_%253BWBuQUo66Dt1JLM%252CxNzqfIuWE1q3bM%252C_%253BB-_XXdI-VjhVtM%252CLJiPOkhhMPzaPM%252C_%253Bwd_JYjidHqMvgM%252Cfyx-tesHPZnWBM%252C_%253BFtT2bd518vHNPM%252C-Alc_wrXuucVxM%252C_%253BGwcE8SOztMeJgM%252CFaJOGGE_xWT-4M%252C_%253BgqMi64ML9N_WnM%252C-Alc_wrXuucVxM%252C_%253BeSFNF0VxCdB5lM%252CFaJOGGE_xWT-4M%252C_%253B2aoBf3uSRsjkjM%252CxTVIdiWMyS1g4M%252C_%253BRbHSQYEE6Uv-vM%252CX6fZjJ3Xr0u1tM%252C_&amp;vet=1&amp;usg=AI4_-kR9k-uCQIOuC4HfKOfER5qYT5rXEg&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjiu_uvltP0AhVGUt8KHa1aCFgQ9QF6BAgIEAE" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Sr.+M.+Emerentia+artist&amp;rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS835US835&amp;sxsrf=AOaemvIWK1oqyVIeo37SGISL70LdBGv1DA:1638931166601&amp;tbm=isch&amp;source=iu&amp;ictx=1&amp;fir=vXK7QHXsxHK2rM%252C5qqtZXI7ZOpcHM%252C_%253BWBuQUo66Dt1JLM%252CxNzqfIuWE1q3bM%252C_%253BB-_XXdI-VjhVtM%252CLJiPOkhhMPzaPM%252C_%253Bwd_JYjidHqMvgM%252Cfyx-tesHPZnWBM%252C_%253BFtT2bd518vHNPM%252C-Alc_wrXuucVxM%252C_%253BGwcE8SOztMeJgM%252CFaJOGGE_xWT-4M%252C_%253BgqMi64ML9N_WnM%252C-Alc_wrXuucVxM%252C_%253BeSFNF0VxCdB5lM%252CFaJOGGE_xWT-4M%252C_%253B2aoBf3uSRsjkjM%252CxTVIdiWMyS1g4M%252C_%253BRbHSQYEE6Uv-vM%252CX6fZjJ3Xr0u1tM%252C_&amp;vet=1&amp;usg=AI4_-kR9k-uCQIOuC4HfKOfER5qYT5rXEg&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjiu_uvltP0AhVGUt8KHa1aCFgQ9QF6BAgIEAE" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/search?q=Sr.+M.+Emerentia+artist&amp;rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS835US835&amp;sxsrf=AOaemvIWK1oqyVIeo37SGISL70LdBGv1DA:1638931166601&amp;tbm=isch&amp;source=iu&amp;ictx=1&amp;fir=vXK7QHXsxHK2rM%2C5qqtZXI7ZOpcHM%2C_%3BWBuQUo66Dt1JLM%2CxNzqfIuWE1q3bM%2C_%3BB-_XXdI-VjhVtM%2CLJiPOkhhMPzaPM%2C_%3Bwd_JYjidHqMvgM%2Cfyx-tesHPZnWBM%2C_%3BFtT2bd518vHNPM%2C-Alc_wrXuucVxM%2C_%3BGwcE8SOztMeJgM%2CFaJOGGE_xWT-4M%2C_%3BgqMi64ML9N_WnM%2C-Alc_wrXuucVxM%2C_%3BeSFNF0VxCdB5lM%2CFaJOGGE_xWT-4M%2C_%3B2aoBf3uSRsjkjM%2CxTVIdiWMyS1g4M%2C_%3BRbHSQYEE6Uv-vM%2CX6fZjJ3Xr0u1tM%2C_&amp;vet=1&amp;usg=AI4_-kR9k-uCQIOuC4HfKOfER5qYT5rXEg&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjiu_uvltP0AhVGUt8KHa1aCFgQ9QF6BAgIEAE</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, though this sister was around in 1970 and accomplished in certain circles for her knitting, crocheting, sewing, and embroidering, it doesn&#039;t look like she was known for painting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, all this would be hilarious if I misread the sig, but I&#039;m still enjoying the wild goose chase and am looking forward to see if anyone can snipe this one!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]363505[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]363506[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
