<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Andrew79, post: 4325609, member: 24296&quot;]Thank you both for your help.</p><p><br /></p><p>Boland, I agree, I always thought that the neck looked a bit strange. Without knowing a great deal about art myself, I imagined that the artist was trying to capture a sense of motion/flight and that the neck and head were painted in this way to convey such movement (if this was his/her aim, I&#039;m not sure if it was entirely successful!).</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora, that&#039;s a very useful link, thank you. I had seen it before and it mentions that other auction house (not Christies) use chalk to mark their inventory numbers on the back of paintings. It&#039;s from reading this article that I originally assumed that the marks on the back of my painting related to an auction house. The problem is I haven&#039;t had any luck in establishing who that auction house might be![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
