French term

sur le banc

French to English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters Museum catalogue
Hello all,
I'm translating a catalogue of works for a museum. At the end of a description of a painting is:
Signé et daté au milieu à gauche (sur le banc):
Grateful for any help!
Proposed translations (English)
3 on the bench
Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): writeaway, Rachel Fell

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Well there is as a matter of fact! Though I can't see it well enough to discern the signature. Thanks! Was convinced it was a technical term.....

I take it you don't have the visual? maybe there is a bench and the signature is on the bench
Elizabeth Tamblin Sep 30, 2016:
Hi Anne - are you able to see the painting? I don't suppose there's a bench in it, by any chance...

on the bench

Would it be possible that there is a bench on this painting and that the signature appears on this part?
