<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9762475, member: 2844&quot;]My mother bought this oil painting on board in the 70s, but after a few years she gave it to me. I didn&#039;t mind.</p><p>It went with me to my student digs and has always had a place on my wall.</p><p><br /></p><p>The subject looks to be the entrance to an Indonesian market. A few ladies near the entrance, two coming, two leaving, and one seller sitting in the foreground.</p><p>I am sure it was painted not too long before it was bought in the mid-70s.</p><p>My only issue with the painting is the usual one, the signature.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/rolleyes.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So if any of you can help me make sense of the siggy, I will be eternally grateful.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The painter&#039;s name could be Dutch. I think I see &#039;Hessaart&#039;, which isn&#039;t a Dutch name, but sounds Dutch. The initial could be a T.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for looking.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>(No picture of the back, I didn&#039;t trust myself to take it off the wall.)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]480253[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]480254[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
