The print went missing a long time ago, this is the only evidence of it I can find, and it only shows the bottom half. The picture is taken of a home video still, so the colours are off and the image is slightly blurred (and possibly upside down), so any help at all would be appreciated. It was bought from the Tate modern in London.

Hello all. Odd request: I was watching...an adult video...and i saw this piece in the background lol. Does anyone know if it's just decor art or real work? If so, who is the artist? Thanks!
It's quite a large piece. You can see a man's head in the bottom right hand corner.
Apologies if this is against the rules or doesn't fit the sub.
Reverse image search yielded no results.

Picked this up at a moving sale and I’m trying to figure out exactly what I have.
It measures 21 × 30 inches and appears to be a multi-layer/color screenprint directly on stretched canvas. It’s mounted on wooden stretcher bars inside a separate black outer frame. There’s a large signature in what looks like Sharpie on the back of the canvas.
Google Lens is pointing me toward Chuck Sperry / Tower of Babel Paradiso, and the image certainly looks like a match, but I’m hoping someone here can independently identify it and tell me whether this is an original artist-produced screenprint, an edition, reproduction, etc.
Anyone recognize the piece, signature, or construction? Especially interested in figuring out exactly what version/edition this is.
Thanks!

All I have are these two incredibly blurry images cropped from larger photos; I'm so sorry.
The subject is a little girl with curly, blond hair, wearing a white nightgown, walking downstairs with one hand on an ornate metal railing. She is smiling at the viewer. The girl is holding a doll under one arm and another doll sits on the stairs at her feet. Off to the left is a very small dog.
This painting (presumably a print) hung in my grandparents' living room from at least the late '80s until their deaths in the late 2010s. They most likely purchased it in New Jersey, but I don't know when or from where. I remember thinking it looked Victorian, but of course I could be wrong. I always loved the painting, but never thought to ask any questions about it. It's long gone now and I regret not speaking up to ask for it...not that it would go with my furniture or decor at all. At this point, I'd just love to see a clear image of it again.
These pictures are not mirrored or rotated at all. I have no memory of what the signature said, if there was one, nor do I know what might have been on the back. I have tried reverse image searches (Google and Tineye) with no luck. I've also tried googling many variations on "painting girl stairs nightgown dolls dog", but I've never managed to find it. I'm just hoping someone here will recognize it. Again, I'm sorry I don't have a better picture of the painting, and thanks in advance to anyone who tries!

Hello I bought this painting from a goodwill for $80, after researching it seems to be just decor painting(not a known artist)?

I had a family friend pass away, he was about 70 years old. His house was always decorated with vintage collectibles, art, very eclectic style.
I was left these two pieces. I’m not sure what they are, how to find out, or what to do with them. There are no print numbers. I haven’t opened the backs yet, maybe I should. If anyone is knowledgeable and would share some advice, I’d greatly appreciate it.

This was a thrift store find. I think it’s an original oil portrait. I found some information regarding a portrait artist named Lavin. The signatures look different though. Thanks for your time and input!

I picked up this piece at auction for $100, what stood out was the Baumgartner Restoration sticker on the back. I’m at a loss how a painting that sold for $100 had a restoration job that was easily in the thousands of dollars.

I found this drawing in my grandfather’s estate about 10 years ago. It has been stored in my attic ever since, and I’ve recently become curious about what it actually is.
I don’t know who the artist is or when it was painted, but I see “1507” in the bottom drawing and maybe the signature reads “C (or a?) witterer?”
There are no markings, labels or inscriptions on the back. The painting seems to be attached to a backing board, possibly glued.
Any help identifying the artist, approximate age, or origin would be greatly appreciated. If there are specific details or photos that would help, I’m happy to provide them.

Hello, I have this collage of three small drawings of monkeys acting like humans.
It was given to me by my parents, and found among a bunch of random old stuff during a move.
There are two initials D.C. at the bottom right of the largest drawing.
I don't have pics of the back as they are glued onto cardboard.
I know the singerie theme has a long history, but I'd like to see if I can date or locate these drawings' origin a bit better with your help.
Northern Italy.

Had this painting for a while, looks very old and wanted to see if I can find more paintings by the same artist.

We just got done submitting Mt Fuji and inside the Chino Fujikan station up at the very top, there was this picture. I don’t know any Japanese so it might say “this painting is called X and is by Y” but I wouldn’t know. My wife loves the painting and we had hoped we’d find a print at the bottom of the hike but no luck. If anyone can give me any information on it so I can get a print of it I would greatly appreciate it.
If this is the wrong location for a question like this, please let me know of a more appropriate place.

Loved this print-hung it on the wall next to another yard sale print . Bought at the best book store in Rochester, VT. Nicely framed—but can’t figure out the artist name. Any help?

My father found this old print somewhere and asked me if I could find anything out. My dad doesn’t remember where he found it, so I don’t have much to go off of.

I found this at an antique market near Atlanta, GA several months ago. It has since become a major focal point for my bedroom wall.
I’ve tried reverse image search the image and artist name but have been unsuccessful.
I’m under the assumption it’s just some unknown amateur artist but thought I’d post here to see if anyone know anything about it.

I bought this water color several years ago when thrifting in Austin and just set it aside. I cannot tell exactly who the artist is...Rn Sadm (?) is what I can make out, however, I think there's more to the signature. Nothing but a cardboard backing

UPDATED (9/1): Now includes pictures of the back of the frame.
My grandmother bought this from a Czechoslovakian family in 1948 when she moved to Haifa, Israel when the country was first established. She brought it to the US when she moved here with my Mom and Aunt in 1960.
From research my Mom has done, it looks like the artist is possibly John Frederick Engle but not sure.

I'm looking to find a painting I saw a while back. It's of a guy with long ish red/ginger hair looking out a window at night (in france?). It uses muted warm colours.
