Please help Identify Painting of German Girl at Piano

Randy de Mars · November 17th, 2010, 12:41 PM

I am looking for information about the artist of this painting. My mother had it for years and now my daughter has it in her home. Do not care about value, just information about who the artist is. From what I can read of the signature, it is something like "SA.Glinklift". See attached photos.
Any help will be appreciated. Randy de Mars

I believe it must be "S. Glücklich".

Thanks John. I have been looking all over for a copy of this print that my daughter has as I would like one also. No luck thus far. Any suggestions?

It's 2010. Assuming it's a print, my suggestion would be to scan it in sections, reassemble them in a photo editing program, and get a poster-sized print made. Requires a bit of fiddling, but it should only cost $25 or so.

The artist's name seems to be Simon Glucklich (b 1863). There's another example of his work and a bit of information in this PDF

Simon Glücklich was born in Bielitz (Schlesien) Poland on 03-27-1863 and died on 03-29-1943 in Munich in Germany. He learned painting from Leopold Karl Müller at the Wiener Akademie in Austria between 1880 and 1890. After he finished his school he went on a study journey to Italy and later that year he returned to Germany. He lived and worked meanly in Munich and was specialised in painting genre scenes, portraits and landscapes.
In the 1920’s his print Spring Song was very popular in the USA.
His work can be found in the museums of Vienna, Brunn and Troppau.
