[QUOTE="Snipsa, post: 31074, member: 350"]Hi there. We bought this oil painting a while back at a thrift store. Cannot find a signature. What we first thought was a signature at bottom right of the painting now doesn't really look like it anymore. There is an inscription at the top of the frame that reads van Mev Mason (From Mrs Mason) 29/12/1951. It seems one of the stamps was for a gallery, but can't quite figure it out. I know some basics of art but not nearly enough to be an expert on appraising it. Would you guys rate this as a painting by a couch-painter or more professional? Seeing anything that could indicate who the painter was? I'm guessing it had to be a South African based on the inscriptions...
