picture signature help

Any help on deciphering this signature? Czech possibly?

The picture is probably 1960ish. I don't know its history since I got it on eBay.

Thanks for your thoughts!




thanks for any help!

 

it looks like couch art......where finding the artist would be next to impossible...

 

will be hard. especially as it is a signature. looks like Deutsche Kurrent.
if Czech, Austrian or Swiss then a local variation of Sütterlin is possible, especially in the Germanspeaking regions.

 

That's certainly a common subject for decorative art. Still... more skillful than most and what appears to be a genuine signature. A photograph of the back including frame would be helpful. And perhaps a close-up section of the work itself to get an idea of the artist's technique. If that's a building in the middle ground, I'd suggest you photograph and post that. Architecture can be helpful in identifying location.

I enlarged and enhanced it 4X....did absolutely NOTHING for the signature (NOT surprised!) but that questionable spot in the distance, if you ask me, tends, I THINK, to look like some sort of a castle structure with a turret. Closer in the foreground looks like either chopped down forestry OR an abandoned structure as well.....

​

 

the pictures do look like the painting. I think assuming it depicts an European scene is about the best I can do. Regardless, I like the picture and I'm sure I have wall space for it. : )

 

it would be the Schneekoppe.

that's a very good fit! the many castle ruins and what looks like one in the picture is a good match too.

thanks very much!

 

I have no idea what the signature is but I wonder if what look like structures are just where the light is hitting the trees, dead or alive. It looks like it could be so many places, could easily be a view from somewhere in the US too. And that would assume it's a real place.

the link to the German alphabet was helpful. I now think the signature is two names - first starting with S, the second with H. As shown in Deutsche Normalschrift

 

the first could even be Schnee but I don't see koppe as the second part. perhaps berg ? my eyes are too tired.

 

I'm thinking the first word is Schini and the last H-ní (mixing alphabets)
