Featured Help ID artist on painting

I was wondering if anyone might know who the artist is on this painting? I thought it read "gary" but not too sure. I feel like it might be a copy of another painting. Still nicely done though. Thank you for any info!

 

? Guri

 

Gari?

 

Thanks guys. I think it might be roberto gari

 

Really like that, great piece. love the sleeping baby face, actually all the faces

Can't work out what the figure in the background is supposed to be

 

Someone with long straight hair, facing away from us?

 

Ahh that makes sense, doh !

 

Andean. Think the bowler points to Bolivia.

agreed

 

Very nice painting. And I agree, Andean, but I think Peru.

The hat of the woman in the foreground is more Peruvian Andes. Bowler type hats are also worn in the Peruvian Andes, where each village or town has a different model hat. A legacy of the Inca rule, which ordered villagers' origin to be recognizable.

 

Any Jewelry, I bow (once again) to your superior knowledge.

Thanks everyone for the info!

 

Too interesting. That does appear to be his signature and he painted Peruvian figures. A very nice example of his work.

I didn't say much because while that hat in the background was screaming Bolivia, that red cap in the front looks straight up Medieval European. Unless it's Native and out to fool me.

 

Bear in mind the OP is trying to identify the artist rather than the subject. The artist might have created a pastiche of images rather than painting from life.

 

Looks like a chullo, a traditional Andean hat, to me.
