Almost looks like it's by Lempicka, but I don't think it is.

[LGHumphrey]

Yes, it could almost be by her, couldn't it.

But no, it's a Spanish artist.

[LGHumphrey]

This artist is known for a very different style of painting.

Mother of God! she looks like the artist's sister
(may be, the date is right and he certainly painted his sister several times ... I just can not find proof)

[LGHumphrey]

Rob, if you're talking about an artist who is famous for his facial hair then he's the one.

But she wasn't his sister.

[Edradour]

Sister shared a name with this one then ...

Couldn't find a link to the painting on the museum site.

[LGHumphrey]

Right, Mark. Not the sort of painting we associate with Salvador Dalí, eh?

[Edradour]

It's an early piece, compare Person at a Window, (scroll down here http://www.squidoo.com/Fine-Art-Prin...gn=framebuster) or Figure at a Table (http://www.artknowledgenews.com/Dali_Museum.html)
