Large unframed oil on canvas painting of three central figures chatting, other figures in the distance, 24" by 36", painted in a highly impressionist manner, and signed at lower left with the familiar "Buenaventura" signature.

I cannot be certain because their works often look very similar, as do their signatures, and in this case the beginning of the signature is difficult to discern. Cesar was...
