<p>[QUOTE="Antiquefab, post: 10476219, member: 79338"]Hi Boland.You really are trying to test us all with this one--,but I beleive I may have found your artist.I beleive it is MIETE ZANGRANDO.I could not find a biography for her ,only that on a still life with flowers painting sold on Dorotheum,it's gives her nationality as Italian,and also gives her signature which I am confident is a match to yours.Now before it's said that the only examples of her work are all still lifes!!!!!! we move on to Giovanni Zangrando,[1867-1941]Italian artist working in Trieste.In his biography it reads "on the outbreak of the First World War he had to flee Trieste,and took refuge with his wife the model Miete Schmidt in Tuscany,returning to Trieste after the war.-Giovanni was principally a portrait artist,but also painted landscapes ,especially it is said when on holiday. Is it not very plausible that his wife may have painted your painting ,while on one of these holidays.Hopefully someone may find more evidence to back up my theory.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
