[QUOTE="Snipsa, post: 31489, member: 350"]Hi Yourturntoloveit. I Took it out the frame again, to check that spot, and it is unfortunately a stain in that area - foxing of sorts... Luckily the rest of the painting is in fairly good condition, though it has browned a lot (can see it when the signature is taken away, the paper is much whiter in that area) I have done some research on Ralph Thompson and from what I have seen wildlife paintings were his main area of interest. He wrote and illustrated a nr of books on the subject. I also saw a bunch of prints (both behind glass and not) for sale. My gutfeeling tells me this is not a print, the type of paper and the way it looks just seem authentic watercolour, but is there a way to determine for certain that a painting is true watercolour and not a print? Thanks![/QUOTE]
