Hi, new to this forum.. it looks nice and I'm hoping someone can help me.

I have this painting from my great grandfather (circa. 1930) and I can't read the signature, is there anyone that knows who the artist is, where they are from etc..?

Or is there another site that could help me?

Thanks in advance... Photos are below.

Well the last name looks like László to me. I can't figure out the first name, looks like Yesgrády or Yeogrády something... I don't know if such names exist in whatever language that is...

WOW!! Thank you very much !!
I didn't think I was ever going to find it!

Thanks !!!

Just to help others if they are looking for the same... here is a quote from searching one of the sites that tells about Laszlo:

Laszlo Neogrady was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1896 and was the son of the artist Anatal Neogrady.

He studied painting at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts under the artist Ede Ballo.

Starting in 1922 Neogrady exhibited his work at the Hungarian Art Gallery. He specialized in painting naturalistic landscapes, many of which depicted forest scenes in the snow. The artist's extensive use of impasto creates an almost three-dimensional effect in his art. His use of light is usually dramatic and his landscapes are very atmospheric. Neogrady's artworks are highly sought after and can be found in collections throughout the world.

Laszlo Neogrady died in 1962.
