]My grandma has a painting that she had for over 40years.I have a picture of it that I can email someone that can help me.I been online looking around for it and all that I can find is a clothing ad with a young man standing next to the painting in a gallery that had repelicas.The painting is of a women with a baby on her lap and behind here is like a old town.she has long brown hair with a yellow and green dress and the baby is in white.The painting is old so the colors can be off.you also see the sky with clouds which starts around her elbow and goes up to the top of the painting.I'm know expert but you can see the little cracks all through out the painting from the paint being out on a wall.I have upload the pic that I found in a ad.I have a pic that I took but for some reason its not letting me attach it.

Interesting painting! I cropped out just the painting and tried Google's reverse image search, but all I got were a bunch of versions of the same ad.

It's a remarkable painting. Your grandmother has had it for 40 years? To me it looks quite modern.

Anyway the one in the ad is signed at the lower left. Looks like it might start with a "V" and end in "te" or possibly "ti". Is your grandmother's signed? If so, what does it say? It would be great if you could upload good photographs of the painting and the signature. If you can't upload them, it's probably because the files are too large. You can send them to me by email instead -- my email address is near the bottom of this page:

Found a better quality photograph of the ad and magnified the signature. Looks like "Vincinta", more or less?
