Subject:signed oil painting need help with artist
Posted By: lori Wed, Aug 13, 2014 IP: 98.109.100.183

Would perhaps anyone know the artist's name of this well done portrait of a man with pipe?
It is oil on canvas and is signed lower left.
It measures about 15.0x19.5 inches.

I greatly appreciate any help given.

Presuming the artist or studio to be Chinese, your farmer or coolie taking a smoke break was painted by Long Hua (龍華). Probably third quarter, 20th century, or later. A lot of art of this genre was brought back by military and other visitors in Asia during the Vietnam War years.

Best regards,

Bill H.
