Age of copy/print-comments

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.

It is often helpful (and saves us the trouble of duplicating your work) if you tell us what you found out about the artist, date, and name of the original painting.

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 -

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.

Appreciated. Thank you for the comments and the link. I will read the info.

 

Also apologies for not noting the original painting.

 

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.

 

Is the size on the canvas' back written in ball point pen or fountain?

Debora

 

Looks like pencil? If not pencil then ball point.

 

Pencil not helpful. A Continental hand though.

Debora

 

Think you're right. Does look like pencil.

Anyway,thanks for taking a look and for commenting.

 

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?

 

Anyway it was about $15.. So not bad,right?
