How do I identify an artist’s painting?
To identify an artist's painting, first try using the app Smartify. It allows you to take a photo of the artist's signature, and then it automatically searches a large database to identify who made it. If this search yields no results, you can try performing a reverse image search using a photo of the signature or the entire painting. Once you know who the artist is, you can use trusted online resources to determine the name and age of the piece. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer evaluate your painting and identify it for you. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of paintings.
