<p>[QUOTE="tyeldom3, post: 100591, member: 43"]Wow, you all are great and you bring up so many fine points.

The top of the painting still has the overhang piece of canvas on the top. The sides and bottom do not. The bottom right corner of the frame is burned on the bottom, and I didn't notice that part before, I thought it was only on the back side. It looks like the bottom right corner of the canvas was trimmed where it was probably burned, and it looks like the trimming was done long ago, because there is no even cuts now, just age related fraying of the canvas.</p><p>So maybe the fire started underneath where the painting was hanging and burned that bottom right side and the back area, before someone was able to move it, or something like that, IDK?</p><p>The scene going on in the painting is a mystery to me as well, and thank you all for your take on it. How interesting about the bucket and it's possibilities!
