DunderMifflin Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I found this picture in my mom's garage. It used to hang in our house when I was a kid and I always liked it. I was just wondering if the real painting it's s print of is something well known or famous? I used to stare at this painting for hours when I was a kid. I was I was obsessed with the person in the picture. Funny, as an adult it looks more to me like the artist painted a woman or a girl. As a kid it seemed way more androgynous to me. https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipM2qn8L-n-5U8ZeuhdFPLYYWWIPoabsY0SVGpme The artists signature is hard to read. Looks like it's spelled M - ? - N - T - ? - N - E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorral Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Your link doesn't work. For starters, when searching for the history of a work of art you need first of all to learn what period the work was created. You might check into an account of artists local to the area, in an attempt to connect what you can see of the artist's name with a history of local artists of the period of the work.

DunderMifflin Posted May 14, 2017 Author Share Posted May 14, 2017 I forgot u can search google by your own photos. I guess it wasn't something well known, I could only find two other images of it by the name of "Harlequin boy with lute" and "Vintage Harlequin Style Oil Painting Wide Eyed Girl Playing Lute with Dancing Jesters Vintage Artwork Renaissance Style Wall Hanging" https://www.google.com/search?q=harlequin+boy+with+lute&client=ms-android-verizon&prmd=isvn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjmtYK6oPDTAhUF6iYKHUNyDv8Q_AUICSgB&biw=360&bih=560&dpr=3#imgrc=B6FHTS80DqNgeM: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
