a few weeks ago, i found in a charity shop a lovely picture and the artist name is sjDey 1491 does any body have any idea who this was or is? it is of two ladies and one holding a child, my daughter who is ten says to her it looks like mary holding baby jesus, it is not a painting but more of a drawing, so if anybody can any light on this i would appreciate it
Hi CR,
I gotta say it sounds like one from the number of studies Leonardo da Vinci did that will have titles like Madonna, Madonna & Child, Mary & Christ Child, St Anne and the young St. John or the Virgin, St Anne & ... etc
I dunno who 'sjDey' is but the 1491 is the right timing-ish if it's supposed to be a date LdV... from your description though that's what it sounds like (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it):o.
Probably best if you could take a photo of it and post it... I reckon HPers will nail it quick then?
will take a photo later and post it
just a small problem how do i get a picture to upload it keeps saying that the file is too big

Hi CR, I dunno if you've lost interest in the answer, but if you still want to know, you could use your MS Paint, or one of your picture editors to reduce size - or even easier ask a mod via PM, the guys will probably reduce and post it for you?
Gotta say though the more I think about your discription, the more it sounds like one of the studys for paintings like 'The Virgin of the Rocks' or similar by LdV

It's starting to bug me now, wish I could see it:confused:

Hi crystal_rose,
I assume you have taken a digital image and captured it to your PC.
Now I am running the Windows 2000 Professional and hence my comments will apply to that or earlier or different operating systems (like ubuntu for example). If you are running Windows XP or vista, you might have more advanced facilities at your disposal.
But with Win2k, or earlier versions of Windows, you could proceed thus:
1. Use the software supplied with your digicam to process the image. I know that canon, for example supply excellent software with their cameras.
or
2. Use 3rd party software. Among the reasonably priced commercial ones, the [url]Corel Paint shop pro is probably best. [/url]
But there are many free programs which should do the job you want very well. Among them the best is probably,
[url]Irfanview, which you can download for free here [/url]
Download and install it. Then open your image with it and then resize it or crop it to whatever size you want. Very, very simple and free.
You can find the original size by right-clicking on the image file and clicking on properties.
Then bring it down to a size like 400 w 300 high. or so.
In Irfanview you can choose a % keeping the original proportions unchanged.
So if the original was 2560 x 1920
select 15% to make it 384 x 288 . done.
Full instructions are in the help files included.
Save the image in its smaller size,
Upload to your chosen hosting site,
then link it to your post.
Done.
Next stop, Tiffany's.
All the best.

Blimey CR,
answered your first description & I couldn’t’ve hit the nail any squarer (is that a word?) on the head if I’d been the artist myself ...& not even a “well done” or virtual pat on the back from you… you only had to put my answer into google images and you’da seen it… Hmmff!,
I’m taking my ball home :(:dogrun:
😉
