Funny. I’ve had this painting for months, and I’d never noticed the initials “MR” in the bottom right corner. It came from a home in Cincinnati, Ohio. I bought it at the little country auction down the road from us. A lot of paintings by Rookwood pottery artists show up at that auction. I’m wondering if this could be the work of Martin Rettig. It is correct in both subject and style.
