Vén K. jelzéssel

The painting is not only beautiful and pleasing to the eye, but it is also well-painted and was undoubtedly made around the middle of the century, as the year inscribed and the physical characteristics match. Such a beautiful work can only be created by a serious painter, and there is only one known with the surname Vén in Hungarian fine arts, Vén Emil. However, we cannot deal with the letter K following the signature, and therefore it cannot be stated unequivocally that this is his work.

If the painting was painted by Vén Emil, then the following is worth knowing about him:
