<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 7065845, member: 8267&quot;]Evidence to help date your painting and understand its history may be found in the construction of the strainer it is mounted on, the tacking edges, as well as the previous restoration work evident in the Bruun Rasmussen photo of the back. I would suggest that you take it to a paintings conservator for an assessment. They also may have examination techniques that might locate a signature, if one is present.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trying to identify a painting by style alone is very difficult, and that is all we can see here. Having said that, the treatment of the sky, trees, irregular light and shade, and bright pigments used on the garments is somewhat similar to the work of Nicolas Poussin. I <u>am not</u> suggesting your painting is by Poussin, just that this might suggest some research directions regarding origin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]421498[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nicolas_poussin,_armida_rapisce_rinaldo_morente,_1637_ca.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nicolas_poussin,_armida_rapisce_rinaldo_morente,_1637_ca.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nicolas_poussin,_armida_rapisce_rinaldo_morente,_1637_ca.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]421499[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nicolas_Poussin_-_Mars_and_Venus_-_Google_Art_Project_%28559039%29.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nicolas_Poussin_-_Mars_and_Venus_-_Google_Art_Project_%28559039%29.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nicolas_Poussin_-_Mars_and_Venus_-_Google_Art_Project_(559039).jpg</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
