I need information on this Maasal painting Lithograph. I also need help reading the last name? on the right bottom corner. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Try Maasai as the spelling.

ibzduck2 · ‎05-20-2019

Thank you. I tried under Maasai with no luck. There is art but I can not find information for this one.

sonomabarn67 · ‎05-20-2019

What did you put in the search as the last name?

maxine*j · ‎05-20-2019

The first name is clearly Claude, but the last name I can't read. Does it begin with a K? Or is it Claude / Keny[a] '92? Or Claude / Eny or Eng '92. Or?

ibzduck2 · ‎05-20-2019

I did not put in a last name. I can not read it. Guess my old eyes are truly old eyes.

Thank you for your response. I believe it is a /. I will check out the information you gave and hope I can find something.

You're welcome. It is just possible that it is signed only with Claude, followed by the slash and Kenya (or Kenya abbreviated) and the year '92. It does make a kind of sense, since the Maasai homeland is what is now Kenya.

Looks like airbrush/stencil work.

ibzduck2 · ‎05-21-2019

Thank you again. I have tried most everything I could think of along with your suggestions and still find nothing. I will continue searching and if not found maybe I will put it on auction. It even took me a little time to realize it was of a person. Thank you again.

I've never encountered "Keny" as an abbreviation of Kenya before. It seems an odd thing to do, to just omit the final letter? A bit like writing "Americ" for America.

I agree. But I've seen similar, such as the month of "May" abbreviated as "MY." Yes: Em Wye Period. Three characters to abbreviate a three-letter word.

Anyhow, I can't really read beyond "Claude" and I'm not plumping for its being "Keny" or "Kenya" or whatever. Just a thought, since that's where Maasai live.
