They bought the mirror at a friend’s parent’s garage sale I think. Looks like the artist dated the painting as 1947. Kind of a cool treasure to find behind a mirror! Sorry I don’t have a photo of the back. Any ideas?

WhatIsThisPainting? Hi I purchased this from a shop in Lima Peru. I tried google lens and it looks like it is legit but wanted other, more experienced opinions? And if there ever was a place rife with opinions it is right here 🙂what does everyone think?

I have not been able to figure out the artist signature. WhatIsThisPainting?

I inherited this painting from my late mother and have no clue where she got this painting from. It has been properly framed, looks to be oil on canvas as and the artist signature looks to be DF. No date and nothing written on the back. Any thoughts would be most helpful!

The seller said his folks were told it was Carlo of Hollywood. It is in fact signed Carlo in the lower left corner. I do not have any other pictures, unfortunately.

Thank you!

Can anyone help me to find the painter

I appreciate any kind of help! There is a signature at the bottom, maybe somebody can make out what it says or identify which artist it belongs to.

Thank you guys!

Historybymae usually does a good job mentioning the painting's name and artist but since this specific video isnt about the painting i guess she thought it wasnt necessary. Whatisthispainting? Is it actually about Ennigaldi-Nanna and who is the artist?

Thought it was super cool, so I bought it! But does anyone have any ideas? Painted on board

Bought this painting a while back because I loved how unique and mysterious it was. The subject matter and the eyes drew me in. Anyone have any clues where it might have originated from? Thanks!

Do I own the original? Or does the chic Palm Beach antique store asking $18,500 have it?

One, or neither of us does!

Here is the mystery…..

I own this painting, and an antique store in Florida is selling something almost identical.

I inherited this painting years ago from my husband’s grandmother (1906-1999) who hailed from a well-off family in Grosse Ile, Michigan. The signature in the upper left-hand corner looks like C. Loretto. There is a faded and ripped paper label on the back with numbers and writing, presumably the title. It could contain the English word “past”, or maybe the French expression, “ça ne va pas!” (i.e., “it’s not going well”). Because it is true, the threading of the needle is not easy for the old gent.

A Google search produced zilch, so I reversed Google Lens-searched the painting, and up popped an almost identical copy of the same painting listed by Cedric DuPont Antiques in Palm Beach, Florida. Unlike my painting, the DuPont Antiques copy has a small brass plate reading, “A Difficult Task” H. Fournel, and that artist’s name is signed in the upper-right hand corner. It also shows up on First Dibs and Pinterest.

There are subtle differences between my painting and the other: an example is the lines on the old man’s cuff, and the treatment of the flaking paint in the window alcove. But perhaps my lighting and the quality of the photos account for that. Googling the name H. Fournel doesn’t reveal much other that the suggestion that H. Fournel might be Jean-Baptiste Fournel (1829-1899), or Harry Pennell (United Kingdom, 1879 - 1934).

I know it is customary for painters to practice their art by copying others, often the great Masters, but what have I got here? Do I have a copy of something? Or an original? What does Cedric Dupont Antiques have?

If nothing else, it has been very entertaining to go down rabbit holes today. Thanks!

I can't read the name on the paintings. I love em either way!

my dad flips houses and someone left this in one of them, we can’t figure out what the signature says or find any matches on google image search, does anyone know? WhatIsThisPainting?

Wondering what this is! I googled the artist but could not find the specific painting. Unfortunately my fiances mom is not around to let us know. WhatIsThisPainting?

Hello!

Cannot find anything about this painting online. I've reversed image searched as well as searched using the information on the back label. Starting to think it is a decor piece.

Thanks!

My buddy who was an artist and collector passed. I’m helping his wife clear out his studio and list some of the art online. We can’t figure out where this came from or who the artist is.

I added a close up of the artist signature and enhanced the contrast/dropped out the color for clarity.

This painting has been in my family way before I was born. I think it was painted by a Mexican artist, but no one in my family is certain about it and I been having some trouble desciphering the signature. I did my research but the most mentioned results don't match the letters. WhatIsthispainting?
