Subject:Help with identifying and translating picture
Posted By: Stella Thu, Apr 08, 2021 IP: 2.102.211.88

This picture belonged to my grandmother, she owned it from at least the early 70s.

It has been part of my life for many years and I have always wanted to know what it says, and who painted it.

Any help gratefully received,
Thank you.

I found the answer myself, once I had uploaded the picture I could reverse search it.

I have rarely seen older works in this style, so I tried it. A more qualified person would be able to teach me more about it

After 40 years my curiosity is finally sated.
