I used Instapainting (YC W11) for the commission.

How much did the painting cost?

And (if you know it) how much of the total sum went to the actual artist that painted it?

Around $140 - and I don't think Instapainting have shared that information.

Thanks.

Ir sounds like a very "fair" price (to the customer), whenever there are these kinds of "middlemen" the question is always how much of that goes to the actual people that actually do the work.
