Found this at Goodwill for $6. I think it might be a painting because some of the reflections aren't perfect mirrors and someone signed it. What machine is this?

It's possible that it's based off of different pinballs. Check out the similarity between the girl in the center of your pic, and the girl on this backglass:
Nice find... I was thinking it was a combination based on some of his other works. If you look at the playfield on his version of Majorette and compare it to the actual Majorette pinball playfield, there are differences in the characters. Although the layout of the playfield items appear to be the same.
What's interesting is that this picture in-question is using a girl from a Williams backglass, but it seems to be placed on a playfield that has elements that are very Gottlieb. From my research last night, it seems that the playfield elements are very similar to Gottlieb stuff from around 1958 to 1964 or so. Including the design of the targets, the word "Pop" on the pop bumper (Williams seemed to use "Jet" on theirs), and the overall design of the pop bumper tops themselves.
I went through every game within about 5 years plus or minus the time range, and didn't really come up with anything that was very similar. However, I was concentrating on artwork which may have been a mistake.

I went thru a lot of listings. I even searched all EM games that had a "gate" as a feature, since it's right there on the pic, but nothing.
Game seems to have a "My Fair Lady" type of theme, or some Broadway/Hollywood tie-in, but doesn't match any of the pins listed with those references.
I'll bet they're modified so as to not violate copyright laws...
I did the same thing and could not find anything. I thought I remembered seeing the lady and the guy in the top hat but must be having a senior moment now and can't remember where. It somewhat reminded me of Old Chicago but than didn't pan out either.
I tried searching for all EM's with either dancing or music - nada. I looked at all of the games that had artwork done by George Molentin - nada. I eve tried the gate feature as well - nada. Seems strange as some of his other work can be found in actual pins, like Majorette.

I think it's pretty obvious that's not a real machine. It's very cramped and a pop bumper is partially blocking the targets.
