I tried awhile back with pretty much no luck. I even got conflicting information on who the artist actually is who created it.
Ma-in-law found a little print of this in a thriftstore years ago, and it got some water damage so she asked me if I could find her a good copy, and... well yeah. I couldn't. I am shame.
Weird I didn't think to try that, but it's usually so terrible. But... every now and then it's somehow the best.
Oh. But yeah, I saw these. That first one is on ebay, so that's already a no-go, and on top of that it's in much worse condition than the one I'm looking to replace, and the other one is just a picture of a picture lifted from an etsy shop that sold the thing ages ago and no longer has it.
Then I searched around some more and found some credible mentions of it being called something else and painted by someone else...
It's just a little paper print. If it were an actual painting, the missus might have at least tried to fix it; she's pretty good at that kind of thing. But her art style is not this... classical.
I should try picking up the brushes again to make a reasonable facsimile. But even then, I was always a little more impressionistic... and I haven't painted in decades. Still, that had not even occurred to me until just now and it might make a fun thing to do... if I had any spare time ever.
It is a very nice little picture. It's in a nice frame, too. But it's slightly fucked up and I would totally buy a good print of it, if only I could find one.
It wasn't about bills, I have a sister that's permanently disabled and my parents set her up with her own space inside their house so she would have some kind of independence while also being there in case shit went sideways.
Oh, that sucks that she's a cripple, but it's really cool hearing about families taking care of their own like that. So it sucks, except it totally really doesn't.
What if I paint a replica of it myself, and it turns out like that "restoration" that old crazy lady did to the fresco in that very old church somewhere in Europe where she made Jesus look all retarded?

Remember the original title may have been in German, complicating the search.

Still, thanks anyhow.
