This is the place on our web site where we open up the floor to you. When we receive a piece whose artist is unknown, we begin our search for an attribution by taking a good hard look at the image to see if anything about it looks familiar. And we often share the new "mystery" with colleagues and friends who have their own wealth of connoisseurship expertise. We've now expanded that sharing to the internet and invite you to suggest possible attributions for our current Mystery Work. This piece will change every few months, so if you think you know the artist of this mystery painting, send us an email and let us know. Who knows? You might be the one who unlocks one of our mysteries.
