<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 8665058, member: 8267&quot;]To quote myself from my first post in this thread:</p><p>&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.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>A good conservator with experience with early paintings on canvas will often have more knowledge of the technical/physical aspects of a painting than an art historian. If allowed to examine the painting directly, they might be able to confirm or disprove its likely age, its origin, and suggest further methods of investigation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
