<p>[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4531511, member: 84"]My friend is the manager of a thrift store that I go to every day. Friday he told me his sister had 75-100 paintings she wanted to sell so she could use her garage again & did I want to buy them all for $2,500? </p><p>I told him I had probably 300 now & my girlfriend would change the locks on the door if I came home with another 100 paintings! So the sneaky guy asked me if I wanted to meet him at his sister's house & see if there were any I liked/wanted? (he knows I'm addicted to art!)</p><p>Of course I agreed & ended up buying 13 pieces for $350; including a Miro french exhibition poster, a Dali print, a Henry W. Rice watercolor & a Erwin Wending painting - plus these below that I need a little help with.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first is a mother & child print; I believe it is #179 of 180 - but the number 1 almost looks like a number 7? Isn't that an old style?</p><p>Can anyone tell me who the artist is (I can't make it out)?</p><p><br /></p><p>The 2nd piece is beautiful. It looks like a slave being sold to a harem - because it's a beautiful nude woman who is on the block as 1 man looks her over & the other appears to be talking about her - while other women sitting behind her watch (maybe they are next?)</p><p>I believe it is middle eastern by the robes the men are wearing?</p><p>Can anyone make out the signature or know who the artist is (this can't be his first painting)?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]400538[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]400539[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]400540[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]400541[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]400542[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]400543[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]400544[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]400545[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]400546[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]400547[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4531511, member: 84"]My friend is the manager of a thrift store that I go to every day. Friday he told me his sister had 75-100 paintings she wanted to sell so she could use her garage again & did I want to buy them all for $2,500? I told him I had probably 300 now & my girlfriend would change the locks on the door if I came home with another 100 paintings! So the sneaky guy asked me if I wanted to meet him at his sister's house & see if there were any I liked/wanted? (he knows I'm addicted to art!) Of course I agreed & ended up buying 13 pieces for $350; including a Miro french exhibition poster, a Dali print, a Henry W.

The first is a mother & child print; I believe it is #179 of 180 - but the number 1 almost looks like a number 7? Isn't that an old style? Can anyone tell me who the artist is (I can't make it out)? The 2nd piece is beautiful. It looks like a slave being sold to a harem - because it's a beautiful nude woman who is on the block as 1 man looks her over & the other appears to be talking about her - while other women sitting behind her watch (maybe they are next?) I believe it is middle eastern by the robes the men are wearing? Can anyone make out the signature or know who the artist is (this can't be his first painting)?
