    AI Overview

    The image shows a painting with a signature that appears to read "Jorgensen" or "Larsen".
    • Jorgensen: The signature may belong to Grace Jorgensen (American, 1907–1994).
    • Larsen: Similar paintings are attributed to J. Larsen, a Danish or European artist from the mid-20th century, or Axel W. Larsen (British, 1869–1946).

    I looked up (on the internet) the artists that davydempsey found, but their styles do not conform to your painting. Nor do the signatures I could see. Also found Jeffrey Larson, but his work is hyper-realistic, and Jeff Larson, whose style is freer but human subjects in outdoor, light-filled scenes and different signature (even in the small, blurry detail).

    Larsen is a common name, so it could be a local or regional artist.


    The Danish J. Larsen is Johannes Larsen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_Larsen

    Thanks for the work @Iconodule! I appreciate it. And I agree that Larsen is such a common name that this artist may be too hard to find.
