Another storage find painting.Olde painting of an older man with a cup and younger man with a pipe.This painting is signed twince.I've had this one on 3 sites with no results.Can anybody make the name out.
It looks like the old man is introducing the young man to some bad habits….smoking and drinking! The young man looks delighted!
Sorry I can’t decipher the mama for you.
Maybe the writing in the back is the name of the painting.
mssue64, Cool. :-)
FWIW, the signature in the lower left hand corner looks to me like it could be "Cuoghi," which is not only a real name, but the name of an artist:

Another artist surnamed Cuoghi:

They have a signature on file for this one, but you have to have an account to view it. :-(
Thanks Watchsearch,yep bad habit lol,Thanks Keramikos,I will do a rsearch on that name.
I can only add a love because I do honestly love the painting. The style and subject matter reminds me of my youth and learning bad habits. Even though I am paying the price now for over 60 years of smoking I can appreciate this painting and wish I hadn't followed suit. So if you smoke please consider stopping. Not at all a pretty ending. I have said enough I guess.
I do understand fhrjr2, ,I'm 71 and I thank God I stopped in my early 20's.Thank you for your very kind words of wisdom.Praying for you.
