    Unknown painting, difficult signature to read
    Hello-- I have a painting that was bought in Germany around the 1940s, and I can't identify the artist. Can anybody help? I'll attach a photo of the painting along with the signature--

    Thank you for any help you can give me! I'd just like to know the name of the artist--we've had it so long that no one in our family seems to know.

    Thanks!

Finally I searched by date and found it. Hopefully Clough will relink...
