Hi Nicole,
I’m having trouble deciphering the artist signature, but the lower left hand corner mentions the subject “Wien, Griechenbeisl”, so Vienna, Griechenbeisl (Restaurant), which still exists! It’s the oldest restaurant
in Vienna in fact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griechenbeisl
If you do a google image search for “Griechenbeisl” and “Radierung” you get several hits from the early 20th century, so it was probably a popular subject for artists at the time.
Best,

Good Morning hive mind! I have a patron that needs help identifying the artist of this little painting. Does anyone recognize the signature, subject or style? I want to say its German, but I’m not sure.
