Hi Delia, I have attached a few more pics to see if it will help
Good pictures but I'm still not getting a good read on the signature - can you make anything out?
I honestly have no idea. It looks like the first name ends with a fancy Z. That's about all I can tell
Hi Steve,
It looks to me like the first letter of the first name is a K or an H - and I agree that the first name ends in Z...I've tried several combinations of those letters in the artist databases we use and am not finding anything close enough to make an attribution (it happens sometimes). I've valued this on its size and artistic merit.
Thank you for trying.
Hello Delia, It looks to be a thin cut wooden panel. As far as the signature goes I have another one of this persons work and I will try to get a pic of that so we have 2 examples. I am out of town for week but when I get back I will send over to you.
Thanks
