Help me figure out this name

[Wheetsin 714]

Long story short, I need to figure out what this name is. First name? Last name? Combination? No idea! Please post your guesses.

Based on a lucky guess and a Quick Google search, I believe it is S Vassileva, for Silvia Vassileva. Some of her prints are available here:

Yeah, I vote for S Vassileva, too.

Ooh, you're quick - and right!

I have one print and was hoping to identify the artist so I could see if there were any others of the same subject

I kept seeing "Svasso Ceilia" or "S. Vassodelia" :rolleyes

I just looked at some of her stuff at the link that Marimaru posted, and some of them are really nice.

Derick,

Could your painting be by David Joseph Bles? He was a Dutch painter and printmaker (1821-1899) known for his satirical genre scenes and portraits with sassy double meanings. What is your painting of? I found the info on grove art online.

It seems (to me) to be a paining of a village close by the sea, there are people shown on the painting but they have no faces.

I am not certain but I think it is a oil painting done on canvas (of some sort)
