    1. I have this paintings attributed either to Vicente Navarro y Romero (Spanish, 1888-1979) or José Navarro Llorens (Spanish, 1867-1923) under the title" The Slave Market", I doubt this since it is signed J. Navarro so it may belong to Jose Navarro LLorens ( but the painting style is different) I'll try to find out about it.
