    If I posted this before I apologize - I had someone come to my estate sale today who wants to come back & buy it for $75 - if I can't find out the artist's name I'll probably sell it; but if it's a famous artist like the Nehemy Jean or Jacques Gourgue that I found out I had thanks to this forum, then obviously I want to hold on to her.
    Thank you!

    My opinion only: not a professional painting and only 13 years old to boot. . .take the money and RUN to the bank.

    A wonderful return on investment for a rather awful painting.

    The facial features are not symmetrical which is very distracting.
    Definitely done by an amateur.
    Smile and graciously accept the 75.00!:woot:

    Beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder and you can like whatever you like. You tend to generate disagreeing comments because you relatively consistently title your questions with “Beautiful this and beautiful that” which pretty much leaves those of us who don’t see art the way you do open to jump on your case in disagreement.

    The person who offered to buy must think it’s beautiful, or it reminds them of a child they know, so they are happy! :)

    It is a young Haitian girl - and her mom - who wants it; she's getting ready to move out on her own
