<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LoveTheHunt!, post: 682192, member: 8191&quot;]This is a very nicely done portrait of an old man with a pipe. It appears to be an oil painting on canvas, laid down on stiff card stock, measuring approx. 6-3/8&quot; W x 10-3/16&quot; H.</p><p>It is signed (bottom right corner), but by scratching through the paint, and the lack of contrast between the colors and backing make it very difficult to see.</p><p>My best guess is that it is 2 names, 1st initial &quot;M&quot; (or possibly &quot;N&quot;), 2nd name possibly begins with &quot;A&quot;?</p><p>I am hoping for any kind of guidance regarding artist, and age and/or origin based on costume.</p><p>I will upload several large images of painting in and outside of frame, label on back of frame, and closeup of signature with colors and contrast altered to try and make it more visible.</p><p>As always, I look forward to everyone&#039;s input![ATTACH=full]185791[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]185793[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]185794[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]185795[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]185796[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
