This item as posted below was a thrift store find, and is for sale, while i am not interested in whether the price i am asking is fair, I am wondering if this is a real Bragolin, It is painted and not printed, but the signature seems to be slightly different that some of the others I a have seen. I wonder if it is a later work, or earlier one, or a forgery

Have spent most of today researching this painting !! Finally found this site which has a number of his prints which are done from the originals !! Several of the pics here show his signature well enough for me to decide that your painting and signature is not his !! His signature is quite different from the one on your painting !! Your signature leans to the right, his does not,,his signature leans slightly left !! The pics that I saw were always signed ” G. Bragolin” and the tail on the ” g” in both the initial and the name proper squared off sharply to the left,,. your letters are not like his at all !! And your signature the a in Bragolin looks more like a U and those signed Brugolin are known fakes !! You can look at the section on this site at some of the fake Bragolins !! One thing I know as I am an artist myself is that once you start selling your work you do not change your signature !! And last,, most all the originals were painted on panel that I found !! One site had a picture of Bragolin/Amadio at work on one of the crying children paintings and he was indeed working on wooden panel, not canvas !! But I did not find anywhere that said for a fact that panel is all he worked on !!
You might check the site above and see if there is contact info and let them look at the signature and ask about yours !!
Even if not his work it is still a nice painting and likely done when his work was so popular !!
