I would be grateful to anyone who could shed some light on who the artist is who painted this beauty queen. Thank you!

Bought this painting in 2015 for 400 bucks. Does it look original? What time period? It’s unsigned. Should I get it checked out?

Bona nit,
I live in a rural farmhouse in central Catalonia, and my family has owned it since 1903.
As far back as I can remember, this painting has always been hanging in the dining room. My father says he’s always seen it there too, and according to him (though I’m not sure how reliable his source is haha), it dates back to the 18th century.
I’d love to find out who the figures depicted are (besides Jesus on the cross, obviously), when it might actually date from, its artistic style, etc.
I’m by no means an art expert, but I’d be really happy to discover more about it with your help. (one thing I can’t do is take it off the wall to look at the back due to its size.)
Maybe we won’t be able to find out who painted it, but I’ll be more than happy if I can learn things about it that I didn’t know before.
I’ll keep an eye for your questions. Merci!
Oh and i havent seen any signature … maybe because of deterioration of the lower part.

It was donated charity UK. Looks like chalk or pastel. I've tried using Google lens to no avail. Struggling to read the signature.

As the title says, I am trying to find out more information regarding an original artwork by an artist known for landscapes and ocean views, Maurice Meyer.

My mom owned this painting since at least 1991. It's a beautiful piece of art, and I have no idea how to price an item like this. (It's a bit large for me, and I'm keeping a second painting that is slightly smaller).

The back of the frame has a number and a stamp from valley molding and frame, Burbank California.

I am reasonably sure that my mom hasn't visited there since my birth, in 1987.

Any ideas folks?

Size of the painting is 36x24. With frame, it is 40 in wide by 30.25 tall.

Hi! I recently bought the pre-raphaelite tarot deck by Giuliano Costa. It says that all of the cards are supposed to be inspired from specific paintings of that time, but sadly, there is no list of them in the booklet that came with the pack or on the internet. I have therefore went on a quest to find them all, and so far, it has been quite successfull, 53 found in total! However, I've hit a roadblock: I've searched up many websites listing paintings from that period, looked at artist webpages, but nothing. In am now skeptic if all paintings are really inspired by specific paintings or if some are just inspired by the original Rider Waite tarot but made into a pre-raphaelite style. I am therefore asking for some help here, in-case anyone knows where the fool card come from :)

Just purchased and am wondering who the artist is. Appears to be original mixed media and may be done by a local artist to Clay county Florida based on gallery. Believe mixed media charcoal, water color, and pastels. Framed nicely and no other markings on back of frame.

Artist signature may be Louis Demarest (or Louise Demarest).

This is what was suggested to me as interpretations but I don't trust AI very much.

Hello! I got this very large 36 x 40 painting from an estate sale today in Atlanta, Georgia. It is definitely oil as it is built up in places on the canvas. It is a large stretched canvas across a wooden frame. The signature in the bottom right says Peretz. The people running the estate sale said it is called "River Bend" but they did not tell me where they got that title from. I know nothing else about the painting, other than the signature on the front, writing in cursive in red ink on an old piece of masking tape on the back of the frame, and a lone piece of paper taped to the back of the piece. The piece of paper looks like it came from a type writer and says "Art-Lore, Inc" on the bottom. It also includes information about the artist. But, no matter how much I look, I cannot find anything about the artist based on the information on the little bio sheet. I did find, however, another artist with an extremely similar signature: David Peretz. He was a Bulgarian artist that worked in Eastern Europe and later France from the 1930s and into the 1960s. The style of the painting is very similar to some of his plein air works from the 1950s. I am interested in selling this piece to an auction house, but I am uncertain if it is a mislabeled David Peretz, a piece by an unknown Argentian painter named Peretz, or something else entirely. HALP HALP.

I am trying to learn more about these pieces of abstract mixed-media artwork.

There seems to be a signature on two of them. I don't know what it says.

Also the picture that has the yellow section in the middle has something etched into it. I think the first character is the Letter M, not sure about the rest.

The back has BAINBRIDGE. I assume the one that is framed also has BAINBRIDGE. I am unable to get this piece out of the frame. It's not a typical frame.

If anyone recognizes the specific name of this series or may know who the artist is I would appreciate any information. If someone knows who else I could ask I would appreciate that information too.

I acquired these from a family member who sadly passed away. I have no idea where such family member got them.

My parents use to have 2 paintings, both square. One was of a little blonde boy in a blue jumper (stroking a dog/cat) i think and the other was of a little girl with long soft blonde hair in a pink baggy jumper.

They both appeared to be in the same setting, in the living room of either a barn or old cottage. I remember the girl having her back to us, unsure about the boy.

From the 90s.

I wish I could say more, I can visualise them so vividly but struggling to describe any further details.
