I have a painting titled "the princess-at work" and signed AA. Could someone please give me any information they might have? I've reached non stop dead ends thus far. Sad

@marie1986,
How could we guess?
We need a photo, which you can get by putting one on Imgur or Photobucket or similar sites and transferring here via their directions.

Not only is a2k a website accessed by a lot of places in the world, there are a lot of artists in the wide world, the majority not famous at all.

Google has some sort of set up where you can see if your photo matches another, but I'm a know-nothing about that.

To start with, what country are you in, and where did you find this painting or print?

@ossobuco,
Thanks for the help. Google match yielded nothing. I'm in Canada, but it is possible that the painting came from Europe. I found a reproduction through google back in August, but when I contacted the person who painted it she couldn't tell me a whole lot about the original. She said an art dealer thought it may have been an Albert Anker, but I don't think that's possible. Just trying to find out what I can for a relative!

@marie1986,
We have a couple of people here who may have an opinion, but they aren't online here all the time. They'll probably see this.

@ossobuco,
If they don't reply in a day or two I'll PM them to look.

The piece looks to me like one of a series of prints from the 1880's. They weren't expensive as they were meant to bring "art" into a home as decoration.

I'm thinking its worth less than $200.

Here is a resource I use a lot:
