Hi everyone first of all id like to introduce myself cause Im new here, my name is Steve and Im 17, I'll be surfin' around this forum cause if seems to have pretty intersting things

so ah the reason of this topic is to ask if anyone knows tha name of the painting on the main page
http://imslp.org/

it looks pretty much like Renoir's style, actually it looks like one of his paintings called girls at the piano but I don't think is by thim, so if anyone could help Id like to find an HQ pic of it to make a print for this mother's day, I think she'll like it

thanks (:

I know it's probably too late to answer the question, but the painting is called "Daughters of Catulle Mendès-at the piano"

It is indeed by Renoir and was painted in 1888. I saw it at a museum a few weeks ago. I hope this helps. There are beautiful posters around of this painting,
