Ok, I know very little about this picture but I seen it at a garage sale off the highway and I had to have it...


It looks a lot like some other ones I have that are wayyy smaller...





Can anyone tell me anything about any of them? I dont even know where to start looking.

Thanks!! :excited:
 
The bottom two are famous paintings, and were very popular in reproduction form (like your two) in the 60s and 70s I think?? Not sure, but they're pretty common, sometimes you see them very small.

The boy is dressed in the style of the Cavalier age: around the middle of the 17th century, hopefully someone can tell you the name of the painter. I've forgotten...

The girl on the bottom is also an original artwork but she's dressed in the style of the very late 18th century: around 1790, after the French Revolution. Also can't remember the artist, sorry.

I think your painting (the first one) is a modern one, maybe from the 1960s-70s, the style was popular then.
 
The 3rd print is "Pinky" by Thomas Lawrence.

The originals of Pinky and Blue Boy are on display at the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA.
 
Thank you all for the info.
The 1st picture I bought yesterday at a garage sale for $10 and it is almost as tall as me!!! I fell so in love with her face it was just a beautiful portrait! I have looked these both up in Ebay and found these were the artists. Now Im off to research the big picture because I want to know more, she is going to be hanging in my bedroom soon =)
 
I got to looking at the 1st picture of the big brown eyed girl and there is a signature on the bottom that says "Medeiros". When I enter the name in Ebay several big eyed portraits come up but nothing that looks like the one I have. But I cannot find anything out about this picture...
 
Def Gainsborough's Blue Boy...went with the also aptly titled painting Blue Girl, and the less known Blue Dog playing Poker (yes, kidding on the dog one)

Thats a lot of reading!! lol
None of the people with my painting are saying the size and I have only gotten through half the page...

Hahahaaha the dog playing poker, thats great! But the little girl is in pink and not blue, thats weird... or is my picture not the same? Maybe he just had a line of colored kids lol. Artists confuse me. But I love my big picture of the little girl in the field, her eyes just grab your attention, the pic isnt good since its from my cell.

Thanks for the comments and info girls! I love learning about these things.
