I have another stumper and hope some one can tell who painted this. It is signed but I can't make it out, it looks like R---- 52. Hard to read. I know her grandmother probably purchased it in the 1900's possibly 1952 but I would bet it is earlier. It is well done and she had excellent taste in furniture and paintings. Any help would be greatly appreciated if someone would recongnize the style. I am sure it was purchased in New York where she lived.
