<p>[QUOTE=&quot;antidiem, post: 221335, member: 30&quot;]I do think these wood panels were glued to some piece of furniture long ago, probably done strictly for decorative purposes to embellish the face of a battered chest or sideboard. Whomever painted these did properly prime the face of the boards with gesso or other white subsurface media (milk paint?). These are oil paintings and look more German than Dutch to me. </p><p><br /></p><p>Often art students draw museum pieces to learn but I don&#039;t really think that&#039;s the case here, rather just that these were done for decoration.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
