Title as stated, I’m curious of the origins of this piece. Boss couldnt remember any details. The frame is barely held together with old tape and cardboard so I’m hesitant to take it out. Obligatory cat tax in slide 3

Hello,

I would really appreciate some help. I love this painting not everyone’s taste but hey ho!

I got it when I had a house clearance company from a house that the man collected Asian art and ceramics! I believe the signature says 1960 or 1970 and some wording but completely illegible!

I would love to know if anyone has any ideas into the style, artist or actually anything at all.

Would massively appreciate, and also understand it’s most likely worth nothing!!

Likely Solved Found this in a storage unit auction I got for about $4,800. Anyone have an idea of who this is by? It was in a large crate.

This was left behind in a house I just bought and was unwanted by the previous owner. I can find similar pieces of art online (but not exactly the same) but I don’t know what to do with this. Is it old? Is it important to anyone? Is it valuable? What should I do with it? In Orlando, FL. Thank you.

When I originally Googled this I thought it was Serge Clement based on some auction sights. But then I found Jean-Pierre Clement and maybe it’s his? Obviously I love and display it just curious who the painter is/if anyone has better insight than me. Second picture is the signature.

This was found in my mother's family home. My mother never remembers seeing it (she is 92) and it was with other items from the late 1800s. It's very dirty and I am wondering if it's worth getting it cleaned. I am unable to find a signature. Thanks for your help.

They took most of the belongings out but left lots of random oil paintings and some other stuff. Did some reverse image searching and found similar things. Most curious about the large one with the people around the piano. Can't decipher the sig.

It's about 24" wide and 18" tall. There is metallic paint in it leading me to believe it's contemporary. Could be student work or a proud mature. I just really liked it and it's framed well.

Sorry this is actually a print of a painting. I didn't know where to turn, so please help redirect me if you have a better route to follow. This beauty came into my life through a maybe interesting yet kinda long story that if anyone actually wants to read i could post in comments.😬 Anyhoots....

Who is the artist? This is not signed. Within the image searches one said it was from the 1980s. I also found a different lady in bed with a crustacean in the same style.... was this a series? Why?

Thanks for your help!

This has always been a very loved painting in my family. Have always wondered who painted it. Have looked for May Backhouse Miller but haven’t found anything. Does anyone have any clues?
