<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bosko69, post: 4621044, member: 16283&quot;]Beautiful 19th century gesso &amp; wood frame-the quick painting technique was done in the 19th century for tourist/interior decor pieces and the left slant signature also somewhat period,but the surface doesn&#039;t seem to have any surface patination (old smoke,varnish crackle),the back mount looks old though-is it painted on a wood panel ? Sometimes they used to back paintings and prints with a wood panel or &#039;shingle&#039;-which sadly frequently &#039;burned&#039; the print it was mounted on,too much acid in the wood.That&#039;s why you have to be careful what you plant under your fir tree-acidic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
