<p>[QUOTE="laura9797, post: 4520913, member: 9323"]Has anyone ever seen a back of a painting with these type of bars going across? I am assuming the bars were added later to help with stabilization? Someone must have really liked this work to have applied the bars. [ATTACH=full]398390[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]398391[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]398392[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]398393[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]398394[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]398395[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]398396[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]398397[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]398398[/ATTACH] There is a lot of craquelure and under blacklight, looks like some varnish added. I am assuming this 19th century Continental. The nails are recent to hold the back on. Backside of board measures approx. 13.32 x 18.75 in. Would any of you remove those nails? I really want to but do not want to compromise the piece. Does anyone have any thoughts?</p><p>Thank you for looking![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
