The Art History Mystery Challenge No. 33 Isidor Kaufmann - The Profit

Welcome to our totally disorganized art museum! The challenge is to help us identify all the masterworks in our virtual museum. We'll post a piece of the painting and one clue to get you started. Can you name the artist and the title of the painting?

Pieces of the painting and clues to the artist's identity will be added every 24 hours until we have a winner, then the next painting in our collection will be posted. Feel free to use any resources at your disposal to help in your search. Challenge winners will receive a shiny award badge that we will add below their profile image. You will retain this award until someone else wins the award.

The AHM Challenge is open to all forum members, not just ws oil painters, so join in and have some fun with us!

If you would like to host a AHM Challenge painting; please send a PM to the Challenge Moderator Callie to receive instructions and notice when to post your painting. Be prepared to check in frequently while hosting a challenge!

Isidor Kaufmann, "The Profit"

Good going Judy! You're this weeks champ!

I really liked this artists paintings.

Hey Judy. Congrats. sniff I guess i must have been snoozing

The early bird gets the worm or so they tell me. Not that I really want a worm. Judy

I've been trying to get a link to a bio for him, but I have not been very successful. I'll keep trying.

You and me both, Dale. I keep thinking I have all kinds of time to get back to this... then Judy sneaks in and BAM! That medal is gone!

Interesting painting. Maybe because of the window on the left, it has a Vermeer look to it. Will have to look up Kaufmann, I haven't come across him before.

Congrats Judy!
