[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 10080202, member: 16283"]Looks like a fairly amateurish copy of a Boucher possibly done by a student for a saloon or boudoir.The frame looks old but seems someone did a mediocre repaint and used masking tape to hold the painting in place. It could be a late 19th century copy on a reused canvas,it could also be newer (i'd guess no later than the 40's or 50's). I'd take it apart and examine it-don't think you'd be damaging a masterpiece,plus you never know what you'll find.[/QUOTE]
