can´t show the painting because of privacy resons.

 

You could have told us it was on a painting in the beginning.

 

Help us...to help you !

 

And in what part of the world was it found?

Debora

 

Well, I think troquet is French for bar. Any chance it's a painting of a bar?

 

the painting is in the style of saint jerome, it shows a bare chest eastern man with a cap on itś head reading a document. and it is over 100 years old. Was found in the Netherlands. The foto i have posted is of saint jerome but it is similair in style of the panting in question here.

 

bare chest.......

 

OOOPPSS yes bare chest

 

Ribera's Saint Jerome is a Baroque era painting using a chiaroscuro style. Are you showing us two photographs, one that appears on the front of the painting as a signature? And the other than appears on the back?

Debora

 

the signature is on the back and the front of the painting yes.

 

So this is the signature of the artist and the other may be an interpretation.

Debora

 

don´t know but it is a similair style of writing

 

I don't know if this helps any, but here's my adjusted image of the signature ...

 

Letter by letter ... maybe ...

First initial ... J. or Y.,

Last name ... T, i or r, o, o or s or n, l or p (if l next letter ?) (if p next letter e), ending in t

 

found this artist and the signature looks allot like the one on the painting in question. It is Yvonne TRONQUET (1888-1982)
