The specialist needs more information

Very decorative painting from the mid to late 1800s. Difficult to determine exact age and origin without an artist name - is it possible to take a closeup photo of the signature or perhaps if there are any signature/title on the back of the canvas.

Very difficult to read and get a good picture. It looks like Karan....but not sure.

Thank you- without being able to find out who the artist is the estimate is based upon it being painted by a skilled amateur painter. It was probably made in the late 19th century/early 20th century. The motif looks French possibly from Paris or another large town. Without a well-recognized artist name the estimate is somewhere between 300-500 USD

Ok, thank you. I would love to find out who the artist is. It's been driving me crazy for years. I just can't figure out the name.
