    Hi All
    I need some help with two signatures .The first one seems to be a watercolor probably from Italy and I could see a "Padilla" but not the first name in the signature. The other one with the dancing girl which could actually be a print I am not sure of the signature as a whole. Both of them are mounted on other hard papers in the frames.Can anyone shed light on both signatures?
    thanks in advance!

    I'd probably think Spanish over Italian - Padilla is Spanish (I think - pretty sure :) ) The bottom one definitely looks Spanish (Flamenco dancer).

    thanks! Rey Padilla could be possible for the first one. Any idea for the dancer picture?

    Padilla is a Spanish name & Rey is Spanish for king, like the English Roy.

    Can't make much of the second one. F. Ro___ (doesn't seem to quite add up to Rodriguez) de ___ In case it helps anyone else:

    F. Rotwegen de Quant, a Dutch name. Dutch surnames can go on forever.
    Don't know the artist though.

    First artist is "Rey Padilla." (Those are his two surnames.) And look what else he did. First name "Sebastian." Quite prolific; lots of posters.

    Rey Padilla is considered a graphic designer, by way, not an artist. Assume first city is Barcelona but not a scene -- those overhead passes -- I've ever seen. The second one, I would think, is set outside Granada with the Sierra Nevada in the background.
