[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 9879491, member: 8267"]Welcome, Dimitris. As Bev suggested, can you please go back and edit your post, and select "Full Image" for your photos (rather than "Thumbnail"). It makes it easier for us to see them. How big is the painting? Details of construction can be informative. The horizontal pieces of wood screwed to the back appear to be more recent than the main boards, and were probably added to try to prevent further splitting. Can you confirm that the cracks in the painting's surface correspond to the splits/gaps between the boards visible on the back? Can you please post additional photos of the edges of the painting - both around the painted surface, and the actual edges of the boards? Can you see any evidence of a layer of a textile, or perhaps paper, glued to the boards before the paint was applied?[/QUOTE]
