Looking for a specific painting

Hi,

I am looking for specific painting and I am afraid I am basing my description on a 20 year old memory.

It is the portrait painting of a boy, with longish (I think) red hair, crying. According to my dad its like a young gypsy boy.

I went online and looked around and came across the well known Crying Boy painting(s) by Bruno Amadio/Giovanni Bragolin and sent some of the pictures to my parents to identify. My dad said the paintings seem similair but it is not the one I was looking for. But my search ends there because I keep coming back to the same paintings and I know its not what I am trying to find.

The paiting was hanging up in my grandparents' spare bedroom when I was a little girl, aged six (early 90's) but Heaven knows how long it has been there.

Has anyone got any other suggestions of painters or paintings I could try and look at to try and identify this memory? Thank you.

I am looking for my father's, Phan Khoi, paintings. Please see attached paintings inside this picture. He died in 1966... These paintings probably were painted in Georgia/Texas or San Francisco in 1960-1962

Thank you for assisting me in finding these old paintings
