<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9559061, member: 79705"]Aah okay, so what I'm seeing is he just didn't paint to the edge. Sometimes you can pin point a date range from the art supplier's active dates and/or catalogs of offerings. The paper was probably added to make a small buffer between the painting and the glass and can be removed so it doesn't add acid. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for his style...genre paintings were very big business when he was working. Probably made him good money. They don't sell for as much usually, but I always think they're completely charming. And that's a great price to get a nice frame and great oil painting with such character![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
