<p>[QUOTE=&quot;benbenny007, post: 254824, member: 4194&quot;]Digged up these two old paintings which I had hidden away.&nbsp; I always thought they could be French but never knew for sure until today.&nbsp; I started to take pics and thought let me open them up to see if I can find any extra info.&nbsp; They are both from the same artist and signed&nbsp; with the monogram MD.</p><p><br /></p><p>It turns out that they had some writing on the back. They are several circled numbers&nbsp; and some are crossed out.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>This makes me believe that these could be catalog numbers and they may have been displayed in several exhibitions or so.&nbsp; Is this assumption correct?? </p><p><br /></p><p>One reads&nbsp; </p><p>&#039;Le Marchea Bandol&#039;&nbsp; 21 p (page) 175is</p><p>The other reads </p><p>&#039;Surrey La Plage Renecros&#039;&nbsp; 24 p (page)&nbsp; 175is&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>(I know the letter P&nbsp; stand for the word &#039;page&#039; because it was also written on the back of the paintings) could &#039;p 175is&#039;&nbsp; refer to a book or catalogue? </p><p><br /></p><p>Bandol and Renecros are places in the south of France. So this must been a French artist who lived or visited Bandol area.&nbsp; &nbsp; Any info/input is welcome. </p><p><br /></p><p>Ben </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]79002[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]79003[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]79004[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]79005[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]79006[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]79007[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]79008[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
