picture is an oil painting of a street scene with snow on the ground and a horse drawn carriage and people walking. it appears that they are dressed in european type clothing.
This is a painting given to me by my mother. She also recieved this as a gift 20 years ago. I know nothing about the painting. The only identifying mark on it is the signature . It reads Maynard. Any help will be Greatly appreciated.
I am trying to find out more about this tea set. No people are in any of the designs, just a variety of birds. Pictures show the mark and the set and detail of a plate. Lots of gold and it does have the finely crackled glaze of Satsuma.
Any help? Can some one read the characters in the mark?
