[QUOTE="opoe, post: 273983, member: 5459"]Or signature near impossible to photograph.... My uncle from Belgium left me this pretty little painting of a flower in a vase, I later realized it was an iris, because that's what is written on the back as well as a name (my real name is co-incidentally also Iris, so all the more suitable that I got this painting). It is quite dirty, all those years in a smoke filled livingroom did not do the colours any good. I cannot read the signature at all and it is very hard to capture it in a picture, I tried and tried again, daylight, artificial light... I love the frame too, which is at least 55 years old, because the man who made it died in 1962. He started his company late 1800s. It still exists today, I asked his grandson about it. My uncle, born in 1937, grew up in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, so it might have been something from the parental home and therefore much older than 1962... I hope somebody here has better eyes than me and can help find the name of the artist.
