Update 1:
Dear Friends,
Many of you have asked me the origin of the painting. Well frankly speaking, I dunno. I found this painting somewhere on the net and just copied it. No idea about the painter.
What caught my eye was that it has lots of famous personalities. I could recognise quite a few of them and was looking for the identities of the others. So I put it here for the readers to identify them. Many have tried, but not all have been identified.
If any of you have the time, please download the large image and mark a number for each person on the paiting and them me that image. We can then ask our readers to identify them by numbers.

Hi,
Does anyone know the source of this painting.
I would love to know who all the people are… we are having a debate and would love some answers….
Some help is appreciated…
thx
Adding to the list of famous people not yet mentioned:
Marco Polo
Wright Brothers
Karl Marx
Nostrodamus
Toulouse Lautrec (on the bar stool with beard and hat)
Confuscious
Soharto (Indonesian Dictator)
Will look at the painting some more when its not that late!
why has Nelson Mndela not been added to this painting?
Audrey Hepburn by the piano. Picasp on the right with his painting.
Would like to know origin of painting.
Who painted the painting and what is it titled. No one seems to know and yet the claim is that is famous. Going by the people represented it has not been in existence that long. I love it and keep coming back to it and finding more people that I recognize. Like many others I want to know its provenance.
The answers are all here at this website.
