Painting is in Europe, no mention of the painter

This large print meant a lot to me as it was a gift from someone I loved during a very hard time in my life. I later lost it to a housefire. I know the person who had it before me acquired it in Edinburgh, Scotland. The artist was a woman whose name I'm pretty sure ended in -ovic, -ovich, although I believe she was Scottish. Her name was written in pencil on the bottom right but I can't zoom in enough with the photos I have.

The name of this print was "Are you now, or have you ever been?"

I'd love to find out the artist and see if I can find other works by her.

Thank you!!

This painting has been in our family for at least one hundred years, and we have no information about who painted it, who the portrait is of, or where it came from. Was kept in a family home in Union County New Jersey. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am a fan of all paintings with ladies and cats in them 😄 I saw this at a second hand store in northeastern region and wondering if anyone has any background on it? I tried to reverse image search but on my got a lady who found one at a flea market in PA. Thank you!

I found this bronze sculpture at a swap meet in Southern California and cannot figure out the artist nor the subject. Any ideas welcome. Thank you!

Update: I have reached out to the artist to ask whether this piece is her original work or a reproduction/reprint and to ask her to share any details she is willing to share about the background/meaning of this work. It's hard to get a good photo due to the size and location, but looking more closely at the work, there is a lot of faint text throughout that I cannot really make out. I will leave this unsolved until I hear back from the artist!

This is a large piece of art left in the home we purchased. It is 5' x 4'. I want to remove it and sell it, but I don't know if it's a reproduction or an original (I suspect a reproduction since it was left behind). Google Lens says it is a Gloria Matuszewski piece that can be found in the N.M. Hoffman's book "The Chairs," but I cannot find any additional information about it. Any help is appreciated. Located in Oregon, and I have not taken it off the wall to look at the back due to the size.

I checked Google lens and got a little info but idk. Is this factory decor? Or an original? I can never tell

I am looking for information on this piece. This has NEVER happened to me before. I am usually very good at research and finding info on my antiques

I found this oil painting at a Flohmarkt (flea market) near Nuremberg, Germany. It appears to have been painted in '81. I'm having trouble reading the artists' signature (I've enlarged it for readability).

Viktoria Malleinen appears to be the mark on the back of the canvas.

I would appreciate any help identifying the artist or any additional information.

Found in maine.

This painting has also been in the family for at least one hundred years, the earliest known location is Union County, New Jersey.

I picked this up for free at an antique store liquidation in New York. It’s pretty damaged but I love it and I want to know more before I reframe it and patch the hole. Maybe you can make out the signature better than I can? The faded text on the back is hard to photograph but it says “rosenfeld” above the numbers. Thanks!

I can tell this is signed E. HORLACHER, but can’t find much on the artist other than active dates of 1882-1894. It came with my grandparents from Germany, to my parents and now to me. It’s absolutely huge and takes up the whole wall. I can’t get it off myself to take a photo of the back.

Curious if anyone has more info on the artist. I know the child’s face had some repair when I was a kid.

Hello everyone,

bought this yesterday for 50€ in a street market in Berlin / Germany.

Don’t know anything about it, seems to be oil on wood.

As fast as I can read it sais “W. Reakers” or ”W. Renkens” or anything in between :)

No hints on the backside afai can tell… haven’t taken it out of the frame yet. Should I?

thank you for any help!

MrB

I found this painting while searching for audiobooks and I just wanted to know if anyone knows the name of the painter/ the name of the painting

I bought this at a thrift store in Canada for $7.99.

It is 14"x24" oil on canvas.

I see similar ones online.. is this done by the original artist?

Any other info would be great.

Thanks everyone.

I would love to find out who drew this. I can’t figure out the signature. I did find it as a cover of a magazine from 1985. It is not the name listed in the credits. I bought this at an estate sale in Connecticut. There is nothing on the back of the picture for any type ID

Got this from Grandma. She says she thinks it's Kay Sage, I'm not sure (looks more like Koy to me) and wanted to see if any of there could ID this or even just tell me anything about it. It looks 50s to me, but other than that I have no clue.
