[QUOTE="techbiker, post: 9487403, member: 60629"]Journey, this may be a post-WWII painting... I see staples through the canvas on the edge of one of the stretchers but no apparent canvas relining in your pictures and no visible nail holes. If unlined, the canvas verso is also very light for a painting from 187X... Can you tell if the canvas has been relined? It's also hard to believe a frame shop or conservationist would have covered the verso with cabinet liner secured with thumb tacks back in the 60's.[/QUOTE]
