My maternal grandmother liked to paint and I have several paintings she did before she died. Some were framed and a few others were mounted on thin pieces of wood. All of them were in a box.

I thought the style of one looked different and the name, which I could not read, did not appear to be her name. After some google searching and further inspection and analysis of the name, the painting was by Monet and what I had was actually a print of some sort.

There’s reminders here about jumping to conclusions, making certain you have the right person, and seeing if different pieces of information are consistent. What we think is our person or is about our person may not be.

But I am probably correct in surmising that Grandma liked the picture.
