<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sam Hills, post: 3313003, member: 17876&quot;]Hi all,</p><p><br /></p><p>Has anyone seen this face before?</p><p><br /></p><p>This sketch, glued on hardboard, was used to paint a wall somewhere (maybe a church, maybe in Rome?). </p><p><br /></p><p>Given the name on the back (Judgement, Roma) and the stance of this lady (looking upward and in shock), this could be related to the Judgement of Solomon by...an unknown artist? The lady could be one of the two mothers maybe... I could be completely off, happy to hear your thoughts...</p><p><br /></p><p>I inherited this &#039;sketch&#039; painting, among others, from my great grandfather, who lived in Brussels.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dimensions are as follows: H20cm x W15cm. </p><p><br /></p><p>No signature visible.</p><p><br /></p><p>The text in the back states (I believe):</p><p><br /></p><p>Judgement, Rome</p><p>Sold in 1910 for 6,500 Belgian Francs, (in today&#039;s money approximately 3,000 USD).</p><p><br /></p><p>The rest of the text describes the painters process: First the idea, &quot;Bozzetti&quot;, followed by the draft, then the &#039;enlargement&#039; by squaring technique &#039;la miss au carreau&#039;, and finally the application on the wall by some needle technique which would have punched ink through the hardboard. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this is interesting to you and I look forward to your comments!</p><p><br /></p><p>Many thanks in advance.</p><p>Sam</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 7942]Judgement 1 by Sam Hills posted Dec 29, 2020 at 6:14 PM[/GALLERY]</p><p>[GALLERY=media, 7944]Judgement Back by Sam Hills posted Dec 29, 2020 at 6:14 PM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
