Looking for antique painting.

Hi sezua, welcome to A2K. What are you searching for exactly?

Hi and Thank you. I am looking to find out about a drawing and/or it's artist. I found what I think is a lithograpgh because of it's detail. It was a small framed art depicting a scene of women entering a party wearing black hooded capes and a devil at the door inviting them in and taking thier capes for them. If I had to guess the date it looked to have been done around 1940 but the subject matter looks to be from early 1900's It is most unusual. Very feminine and whimsical lots of pink as a dominant color.

Not sure if I replied to your response in the appropriate area?

yes, your response is great! Is there a date or signature on the painting?

I have no idea, sorry. I only have a description. I have looked all over the internet and have turned up with nothing even remotely fitting my description.

I see. I thought you purchased the painting and were looking for more information.

I'm at a bit of a loss about how to help. Maybe one of the more informed art "experts" here will know of some online resources that might help.

I did not purchase it so I am trying to find it again or any info regarding it. It was almost cartoonish so would that be a lithograph?

Not necessarily - a cartoonish painting is possible in any medium. Where in Texas were you? Is it possible to go back to that source?

It was in Montgomery Texas. I have left message with the owner of the shop. I hope they can remember. I asked about the picture when I was there and I recall the person working there at the time told me that it had been there awhile. I think the stores name was Liberty Bell Antiques. But like I said earlier this was easily 5-6 years ago that I was in the area. This is a difficult one!

Definitely!

What does not help is that I am not very saavy in the world of art. I love antiques so I frequent different shops whenever I can.
After searching the internet I do know that it is not that old. It is not neoclassical or anything like that. It looked to me like a lithograph done in early 1900-1950. It was not a scary picture even though it has a seemingly dark subject matter.

Thanks for the help. I found the picture. It is a Harrison Fisher titled "Fine Sinners" beleive it or not the owner of the antique store still has it available. Wow!

Wow! What good luck. I'm glad to hear that you tracked it down.

Could you please post the picture here so that we can see what you were referring to?
