Featured Holland painting

Hello again all my friends, I got this yesterday at a yard sale, I hope it gets me out this rut. Can anybody read the signature?
Thank You
Billy D.

 

Love the painting, Billy. I can read everything except for the siggy, unfortunately.
'Molen bij Baambrugge' is (wind)mill near Baambrugge.
'Kunstschilder' is literally art painter, in Dutch we tend to distiguish between art, house, sign painters etc.

Baambrugge is a village in the province of Utrecht, central Netherlands. The windmill was built ca 1680.
It looks like your painting was painted some time ago, my guess is 1960s. This is the scene now, the windmill is the same, but trees have been planted and the little bridge seems to have gone (or artistic license):

I like this painting and it's great that AJ can decipher the writing! I don't know that it will help make out the signature on the front but if all else fails you might consider removing it from the frame so it's fully visible.

 

Hope it's a $$$$ winner!!

 

Very cool AJ, thanks for telling me about it. Have a great day

 

Thanks, and thanks for helping me with you know what. I will remove from the frame to see the signature better. Have a great day

 

Hi Judy, lets hope so for my sake. It’s been a very hard road. You too have a great day
