Can anyone identify who the artist is? I have 2 pieces from the same artist that I have had a long time and am thinking of selling them on Ebay if it is worth doing it at all, or else they will go to the Goodwill. The last letters of the signed name that I can read look like "mont" but I can't make out what the rest of the name spells out. It could be "Dumont"? They are also numbered, this one has 350 in the lower left. Sorry about the glare on the glass.
Thanks!!

Can you post a closeup in focus photo of the signature and some more photos of the piece.

Unfortunately my camera doesn't take close up's very well, here is another picture. The writing is hard to read and with pencil on this colored paper there is not a lot of contrast. Here is a picture of the other one, I thought they were the same artist but I see now that the writing is differant. This one seems to say "after de j---scher"(?) with a number 303.
I appreciate your quick response.

It might be Pierre Dumont. Compare the signatures. These are paintings so don't get excited over the price.
