It shows an elder woman in a folk costume from the region of Pont-Aven, France, around 1880. The research I did in the past years only proved that there were many artists from all around the worls studying there in that era. To name a few: Henry Mosler (US), Aloysius O'Kelly (Ireland), Robert Wylie (England) Hugo Salmson (Sweden), Felicien Rops (Belgium), Herman van den Anker (Netherlands), Jakub Schikaneder (Austria) and French painters such as Bonvin. And they all painted local people in their regional dress.</p><p>It is unsigned and measurements are 17 x 23".</p><p>I would be very grateful if anybody has any suggestions on the artist.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
