<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 4525938, member: 8267"]It looks like the cradle is adhered to the panel, at least at the ends of the cross bars, and there is no additional layer of anything between the cradle and the panel. Combined with the fact that the wood of the cradle and the back of the panel appear similar in color/age, this would suggest the assembly was created by the artist (or his supplier), and that the cradle is not a later addition. The back of the panel is surprisingly clean. I wonder if it was previously framed with a protective backing board. You noted that the nails holding it in the current frame appeared recent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
