Anyone know the velvet artist R. Gottan from Manila? Hoping to find some details, but have found nothing on the internet anywhere.

This Pinterest page lists it as a 1961 painting from Studio Rick Gonzalez

Thanks for that. The link there goes to:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Manila-Philippine-1961-Black-Velvet-Painting-from-Studio-Rick-Gonzalez-/380410031543?pt=Art_Paintings&hash=item5892346db7#ht_1917wt_1156

"1961 black velvet painting from Manila Philippines.
The painting has a sticker on the back which says "From the studio of Rick Gonzalez"
But the signature looks like R. Gotta ? Is that an AKA or alias for Rick or is this another Artist? I don't know.
Rick Gonzalez is the eldest son of Felix Gonzalez and the entire family are all famous artist in the Philippines.
The painting itself (not frame) measures "16 x 20" inches."

So, it looks like that one is also from the same artist. It seems unlikely that the same painting would get reframed and sold again within 4 years, so I guess he/she must have painted the same picture multiple times.

Here's the image from the pinterest link:

Very close resemblance, no?
