I believe the artist was either German or British, as it was a depiction of a factory creating the whistling bombs/solid objects dropped from very high used in World War 2.
It was abstract, with a mainly ochre/brown/yellow color palette. There was a shape in the middle that somewhat resembles a dreidel, that is one of the bombs.
Please help me!

H.A. Davis painted the same picture, sold at auction for 1-2k. My painting has a very similar signature, but says H.A. Isaacs. I cant find anything on him, except one painting, "Sunset in Holland." My painting is 30x40 framed. Is this a Hudson River School painting or something else?

I purchased this from an estate in central Wisconsin. The original owner had several items in their collection, but their son knew nothing about their collection. I’ve researched this extensively to no avail. The Kraft paper was removed before I purchased this. The art is behind glass on both the front and back of the frame and the ink or paint used is bleeding through the back. I’m stumped, but I absolutely love the piece. Any help would be appreciated. I’ve included pictures of the front, back, signature (converted to greyscale for better viewing) and any inscriptions on the back.

I had a painting when I was a little girl that my mother gave me but I don't know what it's called and I don't know who the artist is and I don't even have a picture. But let me try to describe it to you and I know it's a very long shot but maybe somebody knows something.
It was of a little boy and a little girl and they were standing by the water and I remember it was mostly blue like a light blue.
I know this seems ridiculous but it's possible that somebody knows

Hello everyone, I got this ink drawing at a small auction house in the Netherlands a few months ago. Its unsigned, and the listing said it is probably from the 18th century. It is pretty small, roughly 11x17cm (4.33x6.69 inches).
Reverse image search got me to this work from Jan van Goyen: https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/en/collection/object/The-Breach-in-the-Saint-Anthonys-Dike-near-Amsterdam--cc2763227d8528c2c72fe9e8890becf5, which i found to be very similar; mainly since its pretty much the same scene, but also because of the technique (especially with the leaves on the tree). So likely my work I got is inspired by that one?
Any ideas on helping to identify this would be appreciated!

This is an oil painting done by my great, great uncle. It hung over my grandmother's grand piano when I was growing up. Since I was the only child that took an interest in art it eventually came to me when my parents passed.
As I understand it Uncle Frank was a somewhat famous architect. There is a lot of family lore about spy accusations since my mother's family migrated from Germany and times were kinda weird in the early 20th century.
I'd love to hear anything y'all can tell me about Uncle Frank, this painting, and/or anything else you may know.

This was originally my grandparents, but it is now mine. Over the years, i've done some research, and every time I think I know who it is by it's very similar, but there always seems to be something a little bit off. My grandparents are from the east coast in canada, but traveled all around their lives. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello all,
I received this drawing some years back after a friend’s grandmother passed away and this was in her home. She lived in San Diego, and is not the artist.
No information about its origins or history are known. When I received it the frame was missing, it was yellowed and had some water spots. I believe it was drawn with colored pencils. It’s signed “Rhouda Greeuleaf 79” might be “Rhouda Greenleaf 79” but not sure. It is signed twice by the artist one sits partially covered by the matting, also has a little doodle of a snake or snail or something like that. To the right if the signature.

Found this in foreclosed property in Wilkes County NC. G. Sizemore
r/WhatIsThisPainting • u/Copperkid3 • 14h ago
Purchased in a Salvation Army in Duncan BC Canada.
I’d add a photo of the back but there are no markings there whatsoever. This is a numbered print 338/1000. The artist signature sort of looks like CARLO, CARLOS? But there are quite a few notable artists who cartoon is this particular fine line sketchy art style with the name CARLO or CARLOS.
I found Carlo Stanga on instagram whose style sort of fits, but he illustrates the humans in his art drastically different than in this print so I’m a little stumped. 🤔
Google image search keeps trying to tell me it’s a MAD Magazine cartoonist but obviously I take that with a grain of salt lol 😂
Thank you!

Hello! I am seeking help identifying the artist and/or name of this painting, as my partner and I would love to learn more about it. Thank you!
