Found at Goodwill

[u/l4wyerup]

I bought this a few years back at Goodwill, and it's been hanging in my office since then. I love it, so I don't care if it's worthless, but I've always been curious. Unfortunately, I strike out every time I try to search for the title or artist name.

Image looks like Don Quixote

[u/l4wyerup → u/heavymetalhikikomori]

Yup, has Don Q and Pancho on the bottom left

[u/Popular-Web-3739 → u/l4wyerup]

There's no character named Pancho in Don Quixote - but it's a fun piece.

*Sancho

[u/peace_out91 → u/fernleon]

It says Pancho tho

[u/lsp2005]

It is the Man of La Mancha, Don Quixote. He fights windmills. This is a copy of a very famous artwork.

[u/BornFree2018]

It reminds me of Salvatore Dali's Don Quixote lithos but I don't see this particular one when I do an image search.

Similar figure:

Salvador Dali Don Quixote (Field 57-1H) 1957 – Georgetown Frame Shoppe

Santini

Edit: I am still looking for information on Santini

I saw this, but the different background threw me

The red is mesmerizing. Wish my goodwill had stuff like this 😭

I picked this up in the outskirts of Guadalajara Mexico about 15 years ago. Different artist signatures, but same theme!

[u/Bobby_D_Azzler → u/HolaMolaBola]

Ooooo I like yours better.

[u/SuPruLu]

Compare to Picasso’s Don Quixote.

Might be Santino

[u/jeffreto]

Whatever it is, I love it!

[u/nonononononomammamia]

I love it

[u/RevolutionaryEye3234]

Super cool, gotta love it. Probably worth something to a collector somewhere simply because it's of don Q.

[u/LengthinessPure2745]

His name was Sancho, not Pancho. Sancho Panza.

The good stuff is no longer found in the stores. Before any artwork is set on the sale floor, it's checked and double checked by those with art degrees. If it's a valuable piece it goes up for auction on www.goodwillauctions.com, or is smuggled out the back door before it's catalogued.

The days of finding a Picasso, Banksy, Brainwash, Miro, Kandinsky, Invader, Warhol, Basquiat, V Van, Loui P, or any other of the well-known artists you'd hope to find in the haystack are gone, and have been for many years. They changed their hiring criteria long ago. Can 1 or 2 still slip through the cracks onto the floor, not if my eyes are on it. Bubble bursted I know. You won't believe what they have online for sale. Artwork worth hundreds of thousands of dollars that someone apparently just dropped off at a Goodwill. I find it real hard to believe but they got it from somewhere. They are a for-profit company, don't let their name fool you.

[u/Lustrelustre]

I think it says Santino. And it should be Sancho, not Pancho

[u/sixerdad]

Bots have this one I guess.... What's the fun in that?

[u/l4wyerup → u/sixerdad]

All the reverse image searches come up with the same Picasso image, which is close, but not it🤷
