"She's Too Much for Him" by The Unknown Artist

"She's Too Much for Him" by The Unknown Artist is a very small section of a much larger oil on canvas painting. It was discovered by the artist when creating a video called "Musical Montage of Art set to 'Feelin' Bad Blues' by Ry Cooder." That video was posted on YouTube recently. 

The original oil on canvas painting from which this picture was extracted is 80 cm (31.50 inches) by 60 cm (23.62 inches), and this picture comprises a square area in it of only about 5.75 cm (2.25 inches) on a side. That makes its area about 33 square centimeters or 0.68% of a painting that is 4800 square centimeters in area. Finding it in one of many paintings was a major challenge.

The woman with the blue shirt and black hair in the center is only 1 cm (.39 in.) high, as is the man in black striding quickly away behind her.
