Featured 1878 - Bird painting

Good day to all

I have a painting of a two birds which I would like to identify. It is signed E.Danvel 1878. Regarding the artist I have not been able to find anything on him/her. Would anyone know what kind of bird it is and also maybe the location. In the background you can see palm trees. It measures 33cm x 26. I appreciate your thoughts.

 

Fantastic Thank you very much daveydempsey

 

Gila will want to see his though she may not be on until Wednesday.

 

To me the artist's signature looks like it might be "E. Danvelly."

 

Hello yourturntoloveit
It could well be. I haven't been able to find anything on the artist E. Danvel. I, ll do some more research. Thank you for your input

 

I see that too, Yourturn, although it's only visible to viewers who click on the picture to make it even larger. Another possibility is Danvell, with what might be a y with a long tail actually just an added flourish.

Lovely piece, Chris! I'd give it wall space in a flash!

 

Hello kingofthings
Thank you for your message. I look forward to hearing from Gila. Maybe she will shed some light on this piece.

 

Thank you for your kind comments Bakersgma

 

Have you tried findartinfo.com On the art forum board, many art experts on there.

 

Thanks for the tip billyd3us. I´ll have a look.

 

Well... a day late and a dollar short.
Dave already diagnosed the cardinals, and I have nothing to add about the artist.
Good-looking birds in a really nice pair-pose. Pretty scenery.
Very nice!

 

No problem, good luck.

 

Hello GaleriaGila, thank you for your comments. I,m really pleased that Dave got to identify the bird.

 

My pleasure.
Dave knows the most obscure and astonishing things. I will add that I've also heard this bird called 'Spanish Cardinal' or "Cardenal Espanol' in Spanish, I THINK, but there a few Caucasian male brainiacs here who sometimes have to correct me.
