[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 549528, member: 2844"]Welkom bij het forum, Leiden. Could you please go back to 'edit', and click on the 'full image' button for the photos? That way everyone can see them in their full glory.:) Beautiful painting. Have you checked if there is a signature underneath the frame? Pont Aven had an important but ever-changing artist colony, so it could be difficult to find your artist without a siggy. But we have some amazing searchers on the forum, so wait for the others The costume, while Breton, doesn't seem to be from Pont Aven itself. It looks like it is either from one of the areas further north in Cornouaille, or from somewhere in Léon, just north of Cornouaille. Difficult to pinpoint exactly, because Breton bonnets changed even more over the last 150 years than those of other European regions. Artists took trips from Pont Aven to neighbouring regions, maybe that helps in your search. You'd be looking for an artist who also travelled north of Pont Aven.[/QUOTE]
