maybe Bernard something?

[jourdain2]

Best I can come up with is Bernard.

how did your brother pay for it?
Somewhere he might have a receipt with some info on it?

[jno]

not really. Last letter might be an N or a D or even an E with a big tail. Was it in the UK?

[DTCwordfan]

what about showing the whole painting - that may be revealing to someone knowing who it is?

[Tuvok]

It could be a local artist.

It does look like Bernard .... something. Does that ring any bells with him. If he commissioned the work, he'll have some kind of communication trail, phone number, email or address to collect from.

Was he happy with the piece?

Is it possibly Philippe Bezard? You can google him.

Just had another look - It could be Bezard.
