Hi all, I image searched this. And so it’s a copy of a existing antique painting. But it is a painted copy or some type of old print? Also was the age of it? maybe early 1900’s? Canvas,nails and frame also looks to have good age. Size of canvas 24 x 17cm. Please tell me what you think. Thank you for any comments.

From what I can see, it could be a print mounted on canvas, or a painting that has been lined. Hard to tell more from the photos. Here is a reference that may help you date the stretcher it is on - https://www.conservation-wiki.com/w...torical_and_Original_Stretchers_and_Strainers
Frame looks 1960s. Not a work that appears to be widely reproduced. If not an enhanced print... May have been created by a copyist; museums allowed that type of activity into the 1970s. Debora
Thanks Debora,I was really thinking older. Just read about enhanced printing a bit (I didn’t know the term) Not sure if I would be able to differentiate between that and the work of a copyist. Will research ‘enhanced printing’ more maybe there’s tell-tale signs to look out for.
At certain angles and when I was taking the photos,the surface means very shining. Does that mean anything? Maybe a print with some sort sealer applied?
