Message:: [QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 577662, member: 602"]OK, three images with the best I could bring ANYTHING up....there appears to definitely be something there on both sides, but MOST promising on the RIGHT, I think....oops....best if I go back and label the images first for easy ID.......PLEASE take a minute to FOCUS on the last two images and you WILL see the two areas that I feel fairly confident there IS writing. Phew.....IF and ONLY IF you were absolutely POSITIVE it IS an OIL painting, you could VERY GENTLY try a Q-tip with spittle on it to clean a touch and see if a signature might show up.....OR take it to an art dealer or conservator to help you!  Best of luck with it!!!  I think it's a very interesting painting....she looks like she has the weight of the world on her shoulders while contemplating that cuppa tea!!!   BTW, the MIDDLE image is the LOWER RIGHT TOO! (Forgot to label that one....it's late now!!) [ATTACH=full]174113[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]174114[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]174115[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
