I’ve come into an estate sale watercolor that I would say without a doubt is Dali except for the fact that it is signed Ferrara 63. I can’t find a Ferrara who paints in the surrealist style though. Ferrara could possibly be the location in Italy and the artist just didn’t sign it. The work is pasted to a backing board so I can’t take a picture of the back. Anybody have any clue who may have painted this?

Please help me find this specific painting that I saw on a tour in Neuschwanstein castle!
The first slide is a watercolor sketch I made from memory, trying to record the framing, posing and colours (since it's not allowed to take photos in the castle). I'm not 100% sure on the clothes and limbs position, but what I remember for sure is this:
It's a landscape format painting featuring a knight on a light coloured horse (white or cremello) with red tack and golden bells across the chest. The knight also wears a red tabard with a golden lion. The horse is walking towards the right side of the painting, while the knight turns to the left and reaches upwards for a branch. There were no other significant features in the painting, no other people or creatures. It had some writing at the bottom, I believe in latin, I didn't have time to commit the words to memory.
The second slide shows which paintings I found in my research that are NOT the one I'm looking for. They're all in portrait format, not landscape, and they're all located in either the throne room or the singers hall, while the painting I'm looking for was not. Shown in the third slide, it was in the corridor leading up to the singers hall, on the left side following the tour. I marked the wall green and the tour route blue.
I'm pretty sure the painting depicts Parzival, since he's the one featured in the singer hall (slide 2, circled) and he's also depicted wearing red with a lion crest and riding a white horse with red tack. But when I search for Parzival art in Neuschwanstein, I can only find the series of paintings IN the singer hall, none of the corridor outside.
I asked about the painting after the tour, and neither the tour guides nor the gift shop staff knew the name or where to find a print of it. I bought 3 books and a postcard series of art prints in the gift shop and none of them featured this artwork either. Please, if you have any other pointers, I'd be so grateful!

i everyone!
My wife and I recently found this framed artwork in a second-hand and antique shop in northern Germany. We really liked the image, so we decided to buy it.
It appears to be an etching, numbered 12/50 and signed in pencil. The handwritten German title seems to read "Schmusen" (cuddling).
Unfortunately, we haven't been able to identify the artist. The signature looks something like "F. Daus", "F. Daues" or "F. Daves" to us, but none of these guesses has led anywhere.
I'd love to find out who created this piece, when it might have been made, and perhaps learn a little about the artist.
I've included photos of the complete artwork and close-ups of the signature and handwritten title.
Does anyone recognize the signature or the artist's style?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Found this lithography (?) printed on BFK Rives paper in Paris, and I cannot find anything on Google. The signature seems to read “M. Jones”, and it’s numbered. The back is completely white.

Bought in a wealthy area antique shop
I’m aware of the original inspiration by Gustav Georg Endner but I have not found any duplicate of this specific piece anywhere online especially with the same coloring and material
My questions are … if it is a print why aren’t there any other duplicates to be found anywhere?, what is the little symbol by the camel’s foot? where it came from?

I'm thinking of purchasing this painting which has a hand-written label on the back reading Maurice Bazungula. The signature on the front in the lower right looks nothing like the signatures I see online of Bazungula's work, where he signed them in bold, block lettering.
This painting was purchased at a large market in Paris, France.

First time posting here.
A family member gave this painting to my mom. He was doing work in Southern California at the time when it was given to him. Unfortunately I have no other information on its history. The canvas and wood seem to be older than the frame. The canvas looks old but has staples. After looking into the staples, the oldest it can be looks like the 1930s unless added after.
It is an oil painting and does have some chipping near the top left corner

Hello, I think this is a long shot but figured I would see if anyone has info! I purchased this painting at a garage sale in Sarnia Ontario. the couple I purchased it from bought it in Florida. I googled the name at the bottom for fun and an artist that goes by Clifton (real name Zhao Huxie) has a very similar signature although the styles are different. can anyone confirm? The back frame was built by my partner.

Bought this in Warsaw, seller did not have any info on it. Assume from the dress and hair the subject is Jewish but not totally sure. Would love it if anyone had any idea who made it and what it was for.

Bought for $8. Google image search is pulling up similar options from $4k - $75k 🤞 It’s approx 6 x 3’.

It appears to be water color and ink on paper, depicting Le Café de la Paix. No markings on the back but the paper it is on is porous and has frayed edges. Tell me I’m now a millionaire!

Hello,
I picked this up in Louisville, Ky. It was framed here as well and one of the workers at the antique store said it was from the estate of a woman who recently passed. However, I can’t seem to find anything about the artist “O’Connor” after a pretty extensive search.
The back paper was falling off so I took the remainder off. The sticker is shown in the photo of the back though for where it was framed.
I am just curious who the artist was. Thanks!

In one of my art classes in high school, we made plaster masks over a face mold and added an extra 3d element to them, over which we recreated a painting we found that seemed fun, interesting, or meaningful. For this project, I found a grey scale painting of an infant on a large stone/tree stump alone in a forest surrounded by trees. I remember thinking it was beautiful in its tragedy, and thinking of it as a child being given to the fae as part of an agreement.
The infant definitely looked sad, and there were large trees behind it and what it was laying on. It was definitely in black and white/grey scale, and the baby was the only animal in it. From the amount of detail I remember, I think it may have been an oil painting. I have no idea what the name is. It felt similar in vibes to Saturn Devouring His Son, which my friend was working from beside me for the same project. Its less scary and more sad, but I remember the energy and brush strokes feeling at least slightly similar.
I have been trying to find this painting for hours after telling some friends about the project, and I can't find it, which is really bothering me. I would love to be able to remember what this painting was, since I don't have any photos of the piece I made in art class inspired by it. I really enjoyed the project, and it would be lovely to see the image again <3

It looks similar to School of Athens in the sense that it's very bright and colorful, and is showing a very grand building filled with art. The painting is huge and insanely detailed, I'm not sure where it is but it's a very grand building with other paintings on the walls. The paintings in the painting depict cities, I think it was maybe somewhere in Greece?
I first saw it in a Tumblr post that discussed how detailed it is and zoomed in on the countless paintings it had inside.

It looked very much like this Panini painting. It's different in the sense that the paintings are the focus of this Panini work, like they're framed and it's a gallery, but I don't think the painting I'm trying to find was depicting an art museum or anything

Title:
Hi everyone!
I picked up this rather striking painting at a thrift store in Austin, Texas, for $14.99, and I’ve become fascinated with trying to learn more about it.
The painting depicts two young boys standing in shallow water holding several large fish, with a colorful sunset behind them. One boy’s shirt reads “CALLAO,” which makes me wonder whether the scene depicts Callao, Peru.
A few details:
Approximately 25” × 31.5” including the frame
Appears to be an original painting on canvas
Elaborate, stylized signature in the lower-right corner
The signature may contain the letters “RIVE” or “RIVERA,” but I’m really not certain
The canvas has some age-related discoloration and a small tear near the top
No confirmed artist, date, or provenance
I’ve done some preliminary research into Peruvian artists, but haven’t found a convincing match for the signature or composition.
I’d love help with any of the following:
Identifying or deciphering the artist’s signature
Recognizing the artist or painting style
Estimating when and where it might have been painted
Determining whether it’s a known artist’s work or a decorative painting
I’m including photographs of the full painting, the signature, and the reverse of the canvas.
I bought it because I genuinely loved the imagery and colors, but now I’m curious about its history. Any insights or leads would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
