I've never been on this board and I don't know how this works, but I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I found this old picture in my attic and I was wondering if it might be worth something. I'll post more pics shortly.

No, it's garage sale garbage unless otherwise noted.

It's pretty amateurish, so unless that happens to be painted by a famous person with a side interest in art, then it's not worth much beyond what you see in it. I'm sure someone would like it, but you'd probably struggle to get $50 for it. Kind of thrift shop sort of stuff. Then again, if a Jesus freak sees it and thinks it's a message from God, you might get $100 out of them. I wouldn't bank on more than $5-$20.

Is this an actual painting? It looks more like a print on mounted on cardboard or something...

It's no masterpiece, but what exactly is "amateurish" about this? It's beyond anything posted in here.

It's around 100 years old btw

it would need a certificate of authenticity for it to be worth any real value in money to show proof of age and of course, the artist.

It's kitsch. I live in Romania and I can find you that painting in every single house in my neighborhood.

It really isn't. Plus, everyone who posts work here is just trying to get better and most of the stuff posted is unfinished.

I think my grandparents had that exact painting. I sold it to a neighbor for 5 bucks after they died.

There probably was a factory somewhere that made bump prints of these.

If is the original it may be worth something
Seen hundreds of times a parody of this particular painting where satan is fingering jesus' anus or something similar, investigate a little bit more

This painting or this scene? It's Jesus praying in Gethsemane, a fairly common idea in Christian art.
