I have a framed peice of what I belive to be significant Latin
American Art, purchased from a respectable gallery twenty-five years
ago, and the provenance has been lost. I would like an identification
of the artist and depending on the suggestion, possibly an apprasial. 
A photo will be provided upon acceptance.

Request for Question Clarification by kriswrite-ga on 06 Aug 2004 10:33 PDT

In order to even attempt to answer this question, well need a link to
photos of the artwork. It will help if you can give close ups of the
signature, and photos of the back, too.

Thank you,

Clarification of Question by skybird4654-ga on 06 Aug 2004 11:04 PDT

Please let me know where to send pictures, thanks.

You cannot post an image directly to Google Answers, nor can you send
it to a Researcher (we're not permitted to have outside contact with
customers).

The best thing to do is to upload your image to a free image-hosting
site, then post the URL of the image here.

Here are some free sites where you can upload images:

http://www.villagephotos.com 
http://www.deviantart.com 
http://www.photobucket.com

Please find links to the photo, the first is the whole picture
the second is to the signature.  Thanks for the help

Please let me know if this works, thanks again for your help.

The images posted fine! Now comes the hard part: identifying the painting.

Many thanks, take your time, I very much appreciate the help.  Best,

I'm leaving this question unlocked because I haven't a clue; the
painting style doesn't ring any bells in my head. I hope another
Researcher will be able to identify the artist for you.

thanks for the effort, best,
