    I found this at my local thrift store & thought it was beautiful - in person the colors 'POP'!

    WHen I looked up painting signed Paulsen I got a Erich Paulsen; a German artist whose paintings sell for $1,000's! But I couldn't seem to enlarge one to compare signatures.
    BUT(!) I found one that is a print on canvas with the exact same signature - down to the elongated bottom of the letter S! It is on Wayfair's Global Gallery, but all they say about it is it's a print on canvas by Paulsen (no first name mentioned):
    https://www.wayfair.com/Global-Gall...efid=PINTO49-VHY5822_17026863&PiID[]=17026863

    So I'm hoping if the artist whose signature matches mine is good enough to have his work made into prints on Wayfair then maybe I have a Erich Paulsen - or another Paulsen that is well known?
    Thanks for any info - I appreciate the help

    That P looks vastly different to me, but the rest does look similar.

    Thanks Kronos (I just saw the sci fi movie where Kronos, a the super computer made to solve man's problems, figured out within seconds of coming online that man was the problem - and tried to end humanity to save the planet - come to think of it, kind of like the Terminator; he even made man hunting robots at the end!) - Unbelievable how you found the right artist; thank you!
    Another question - I found a LOT of prints of her works, but no original paintings; if her work was so recreated she must be/have been a popular artist? Any idea how much an original oil on canvas of hers is worth?

    It's odd that her name in not in any of the listed artists databases.

    I think if someone can put the signatures side by side, I think they will be different. Hannah uses type style a. All her letters are printed. The other flower painting, letters are cursive.

    So sad.
    It could explain varying signatures too.
    Just sad.

    All I find is reproductions. Might be someone imitating her work cause if all the ones that are online for sale are repops I doubt any originals made it out to the public.
