looks to be signed "Edward"

 

Yes, I think Edward also. Looks very like a factory painting though but I may be wrong.

 

I don't think you are wrong!

 

Thank you both for your reply! You are right about Edward; however, just out of curiosity, I'd to know who that is or the year potentially.

 

They were attempting to help decipher the siggie, not to ID artist. Since Edward is generic...I doubt any other info will be found.

 

To add to the confusion, it could be Eduard, a Continental version of Edward. But I don't think that is important in this case.

 

It does appear to be a decorative painting. To my eye, what with the color palette, Frenchified signature, linen liner and pickled frame, the 1950s is likely.

Debora

 

I'd guess it was fashionably decorative from 50s to ?... Maybe from a department store.

 

Thank you all so much! Your insight is greatly appreciated.

 

Here's another I found on Pinterest.

 

Unlikely to ever know the individual painter. I agree that this is someone painting in a factory setting producing pieces for home decor.

Seemed to be the "yellow" guy. I would put zero weight on these asking prices as I could not find any "edward" pieces in "sold" listings.

late 1970's in my opinion

 

“...beautiful...”. Excuse me, but we’ll be the judges of that!

 

I agree (I'd even go 1980s), but the fact is... 1950s or 1980s is not going to make much difference to finding the individual artist's bio for the OP.
