Default Can Anyone Help me Identify this Oil Painting?

I received this oil painting on canvas through an estate proceeding and I am trying to identify either the painting or the artist. In the left hand corner there appears to be either three initials that at first glance look like "Bye" with a hyphen over the "y", but it is hard to make out, it could be Jye or Byf or Jyf, not sure. I will try to attach some photos. Thanks!

Hi Heidi,
Looking at the signature, I would go for D'yF which is a name in Romania. It also has a French feel about it which could be another avenue. Good luck.

There is a French artist called Marcel Dyf (1899-1985) and this looks very much like his work. See http://www.john-noott.com/paintings/...erie_20293.php

Your paintings are by the very popular french painter Marcel Dyf (aka Marcel Dreyfus). A lot of information with this name on Google.

Not the best site but a first idea

I have the exact same signed painting. Did he paint the same thing more than once? I'm trying to find more information about this painting but I haven't been successful.

I see the original post was almost 2 years ago. I have the exact painting and would love to know the story behind this. If anyone is willing to research this with me, please let me know. I wonder how many "copies" there are?

A wee bit of info regarding the artist as the Saint's link no longer works for me. His wife Claudine was his model in some of his paintings...one's posted above.
