<p>[QUOTE="laura9797, post: 10204882, member: 9323"]We had this at one of our larger estate sales but the client's family did not want to sell it as their deceased mother felt it was important. She had taped an article about Mona Lisa type paintings to the back of the frame. I believe this work was originally on canvas then laid down. Perhaps to fool someone into thinking it was older or maybe it is? Blacklight goes wild on this piece and it just seems 'weird'. The left eye is weird as is the fingers. I am used to seeing varnish and over/inpainting but not sure what to make of all of this. The client had this re-framed a few years before she died. This client was extremely well off - important family. I'll include a link to video of the work under blacklight. <a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/h1i0SgCwZ80?si=lDIvLVD9u6Oq5dl4" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://youtube.com/shorts/h1i0SgCwZ80?si=lDIvLVD9u6Oq5dl4" rel="nofollow">https://youtube.com/shorts/h1i0SgCwZ80?si=lDIvLVD9u6Oq5dl4</a></p><p>I do have the measurements but I have to go through pages of notes which are in my truck and right now it is sleeting and snowing in Georgia!
