<p>[QUOTE="Mill Cove Treasures, post: 112543, member: 60"]Sweet! Most old paintings were painted on a rabbit skin glue base. Rabbit skin glue expands and contracts with exposure to moisture and that's why most old painting have the crackle look. It can also cause the canvas to stretch and appear wavy or loose over time. The canvas supports are old, as is the canvas. I also think the frame is a later addition. My guess is the same as everyone else on the signature.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
