    Hello
    I have found this picture just few days ago at one of the Housing Works locations in Manhattan.
    It is 44x48 inches. Oil on canvas. Anco Bilt strechers.
    I love the painting and I have done some search online, but did not find a single clue who the painter might be. at the piano.jpg IMG_7910.JPG

    Identifying the artist may not be possible especially because doesn't look to be the work of a fully trained painter. Still, a very interesting composition. Can see why it'd catch your eye.

    Thanks for your reply,
    and it is not signed as well.
    But I think that may be a piece from school studies or something like that.
    As I had to re-stretch the canvas I noticed that the stretchers and the canvas itself are decades old (at least 20 years old), so I wonder if the person is still in arts (I'd love to put a name on this piece)
    And you are right I just fell in love with the composition and the style right away. It was just four days ago when I bought it, and today I am framing it, tomorrow it goes on my wall.

    I do like the painting. Especially like the way the red shirt is done. kind of "Vangoghesque" in my opinion. I believe this is better then your run of the mill student piece.....That said.....I know squat about art......but I know what I like. This painting has real appeal. If it were mine I would shoot a couple pics off to an art auction site and see what they have to say about it.

    Thanks.
    I love it so much, and I agree with you, the bold brush strokes, use of colors and composition are telling me that there is a talent behind this piece.
    Actually what I want the most is to find the artist and to let her/him know that I love the painting. I just framed it yesterday and hung it on my wall today and was plying piano music all day with the speaker just few feet from the painting.

    And knowing the Housing Works, they would have attributed it if they were able.
