It's a painting of a man in black tux and woman
in a long red gown dancing on a misty beach while
a maid and butler hold umbrellas for them to dance
under.

Anyone know the name of the artist/work of art?
I want to say his last name starts with "Vett..."
I'm desperate to find a print of this work - I just
need more information to search with.

TIA

It's "The Singing Butler" by Jack Vettriano.

Strangely enough it's called "The singing butler".

Detail: their dance hold is the mirror image of what it's supposed to
be.

Pretty good. Jack Vettriano.

I have a print of it in my living room. It comes from "The Art Group
Limited" in London. England, not Kentucky. This look like it might be
