I know that this watercolor gouache painting and the other that I am posting are very weird. The people who were with me when I bought the two paintings thought that I had lost my senses. However, I was intrigued by the subject matter and the colors. On the back of this one are the initials "TE" and the # 31 circled. The paintings are in similar frames but I took them out to take photos. Does anyone know anything else about these types of paintings?
They look straight out of Pompeii. A copy of a fresco from Herculaneum?
Thanks vetraio50, You always have such good info!
I agree with vetraio! Subject and pompeïan red match!
kyra, thank you!!!
vetraio50 and Kyra, This looks like a combination of the two paintings!

Thanks for that link VINTAGELAMP. The look is definitely Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Yes! But thank you!!!
