Need help identifying artist please

jen8 · September 5th, 2011, 08:36 AM

Hello. I was on holiday in Croatia recently and bought this picture.
I was told at the time of purchase who the artist was etc. but unfortunately I did not make a note of this as I thought I would be able to identify artist/title at home by signature.
However this is proving to be quite difficult! I would really appreciate if you would be able to help with identification of this.
I have attached pics in the hope that you will be able to identify for me. I hope you are able to make something out as I appreciate pics are not too clear.

Many thanks,
Jennifer Ramsay.

Hi Jen
Impossible to see anything on your blury photo but it looks like an Ivan Laskovic work. Probably inscribed : Ivan Laskovic Croatia

Thank you for the responses. Here is a better pic of the signature. Could be Croata at the end but cant see Ivan in it or Laskovic!

I agree some of the letters don't look quite right, but what else it could be?

And compare with this one

Well, there are only two possibilities since the whole artpeople of this country don't waste their talent by painting nude trees around snowy villages
It is a quick signature by the artist
It is a fake sold by a shop waiting for the stranger mugs

and made by a person who did'nt signed exadtly like Laskovic just to have chance in front of the law.
