<p>[QUOTE="Armando0831, post: 28009, member: 305"]I found this today at the flea market. The seller had a lot of antiques and this print stood out very quickly. I had no idea who the artist was and title of the painting. When I got home, I searched "Spanish clothing in 1624" and to my surprise, this painting popped up in the images. After looking at different images of the painting, I noticed that my print has the cavalier wearing red clothing, not black. To me this looks very very old. The frame is held at the corners with nails. I'm not even attempting to take this print out. I did take the back off and noticed some very small spots, foxing, but nothing to cause alarm. Sorry about the the title, dang auto correct!![ATTACH=full]6942[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]6943[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]6944[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]6945[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]6946[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]6947[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]6948[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
