<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jenia, post: 4400107, member: 60083&quot;]It seems that the painting has been re-stretched on new canvas frame, it looks too contemporary. The frame was fitted with extra shims to adjust to the size of the canvas frame, the question comes to mind : was the frame taken from another painting or the restorer had to adjust after re-stretching onto the new frame? I don&#039;t see any signs of oil painting aging,&nbsp; but this may be only seen with a naked eye. The figure is not quite proportional, unless the sitter was very short. The signature is very unclear, I can only read 83, perhaps indicating a year.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
