I was looking at another painter here and found yours, it’s twin. Here’s the other like yours https://instappraisal.com/appraisal/oil-painting-canvas-clown-original-antique-frame-0#comment-55421 Okay, I found a print of the painting your painting is based on. https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-julian-ritter-skelter-print-457544632 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Ritter Yours is a copy of Ritter’s, either someone painting for fun or to sell as decor. The original Julian Ritter clown like yours was called Skelter and came with another clown painting called Helter.
