Question
Hello, I was hoping you'd be able to help me find information regarding a painting I have by an artist with the name of Claude Monce.  The only info I can find is the print out that came with the painting. He was born June 9, 1926 in Lille, France. It was originally purchased in the 70's.  It is a painting of a leopard on canvas.  Do you if there's any info on this artist?
I still have the price tag which says "Leopard by Monci"

Answer
Hello..............sorry I do not have information on this painting.  Even after an extensive google search for Claude Monce....Claude Monci.....Leopard by Monci.....nothing turned up.

Perhaps you could check the yellow pages in your phone book under art appraisals.....and call one of the appraisers.....or call William Doyle Galleries in NYC and see if they could help you.
