Very old painting

[jimb]

Got this painting at a thrift shop. It is quite old. The canvis is brown from age, and the paint is cracked. I can not make out the name. Can anyone help out there? It seems to be Carroll Haddian or Hattiam.

I've been Googling variations of the name, but can't come up with anything.

A very interesting painting, though....I like the mood of the scene.

Here is a better shot of the name, which might be HATTCH. I can't quite make out the 5th letter which might be a C.

Very nice!! How much did you pay? What are the dimensions? Is it on canvas or board? And could you post a picture of the complete back side?

Here is a close shot of the canvis which actualy looks dark brown. I paid $5.00 for the painting. It is about two feet X twenty inches. I am also posting a brighter daylight picture of the painting.

Carroll is an old name. Maryland has a Carroll County named after Charles Carroll, who signed the Declaration of Independence. Most seem to agree that the last name begins with Ha. I think the last name is Haddem or Hattem.
