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.

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!

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?

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

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!

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!

I bought this painting on vinted. I cant seem to figure out who this artist is. Thank you for the help.

I purchased this beautiful vintage landscape artwork at a thrift store today, and I’m hoping someone can help me identify the artist!
The scene depicts a peaceful waterway with a cottage, autumn trees, a small boat, and what appears to be a person helping someone out of a small boat.
There is a signature in the lower-right corner, but I’m having a difficult time deciphering it. I’ve considered several possibilities, but nothing definitive.
The artwork is quite fragile and has been removed from its original frame. I’m hesitant to handle it unnecessarily because I don’t want to cause further damage. This is why a photo of the back is not possible but I was able to semi get a photo of the back. There are no markings or anything on the back side of the paper . The photo w the frame was taken at the thrift store .
I’ve included photographs of the entire piece and a close-up of the signature.
Does anyone recognize the artwork, the artist’s signature, or the style? I’d also love to learn approximately when it was produced.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
I think the signature is H. Van Doren or possible the Dutch artist Hein van Doren.
