    So I have no idea about art and love the knowledge on this site. Would this be considered a charcoal painting? Also it has two signatures. Where does one go to try and identify them? I loaded pictures of the signatures blown up. Is it common to have two artist?

    Travis, one may be the name of the painting; the other would be the artist.

    Some folks here are pretty good at deciphering signatures, so give it a bit of time for others to check in!

    p.s. That one word looks like EVEREST to me... (but Mount Everest, it's not!)

    I agree that the words on the left are the title, probably a place name? The end of it looks like the letters que?

    The medium looks like pastels.

    Agree, a pastel sketch (painting).
    The word on the left looks like Dunkerque to me, the French name for Dunkirk in French Flanders, coastal northern France. There are quite a few white farmhouses in that area.

    Thank you for our responses. Still trying to find out the author or potential value. Digging into research and Art. I am enjoying my new hobby of antiques and art.
