[QUOTE="mirana, post: 10019178, member: 79705"]There's some interesting mark making and confidence in the amount of paint used on the brush. They were definitely trying to paint in a style that was popular then. I almost wonder if the people are other artists out on a plein air group outing with this person? The hats and the one holding a black item above make me think of it. What's the item? Maybe a pencil, charcoal or crayon. You didn't have to be a professional to do an outing, necessarily. Art was considered a good hobby and plein air was popular. I'm sorry I'm no help on that signature. I can't make it into anything that makes sense. F or J...elh, ilh, eth? :confused: I do like the piece. It has a charm and I enjoy the texture. The people aren't realistic of course, but I like the abstraction of them.[/QUOTE]
