George McNeil? Dress Painting
Painting on canvas 16” x 20” in wood frame. The hanger on back may have been placed wrong. I am adding a picture of it hung the other direction.
Found at a thrift store, provenance unknown.

Dear Emily,
Thank you for your request. Please add a focused image of the signature in blue letters in the right lower corner of the painting. Thank you.
With kind regards,

After researching this more, I believe this is a painting by Alexander Rutsch.
Dear Emily,
Thank you for the additional information and your patience. The presented object is a painting made in acryl or oil paint on canvas with measurements of 16 x 20 inches. The painting depicts two naked feed and is difficultly readable signed. Your suggestion that this painting was made by George MCNEIL (1908-1995) is in my opinion not to follow because of the style and the totally different signature. Your second suggestion that this painting was made by the Austrian artist Alexander RUTSCH (1916-1997) is possible. First, the signature could be read with some interpretation as Rutsch and also he made paintings in this style. There were very few objects of Rutsch on the auction market. This estimation does not serve as an authentification.
This piece is in good condition and there are no serious damages visible.
An estimation would be between 200 to 400 USD.
This estimation is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparables. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and vary.
With best regards,
Georg
