Hi! It will be hard to say without a lot
of additional information like style and
subject matter and, in fact, the artist’s
true name. Here are some possibilities
of known and documented artists but
it might easily be someone else. The
numbers on the back could be from a
number of things: an art supply house,
a framer’s marks, reproduction house
inventory codes, etc.
Artwork must be ’seen’ by an expert for
a reliable assessment. Try and contact
a good auction house or a reputable
fine arts appraiser if you want to know
more. Good luck!

    I would go to an antique dealer, art historian-more accurate, or go on the antique road show.
