<p>[QUOTE="Richard Arthur, post: 4374181, member: 6375"]Understanding what it is painted on is a bit tricky. The picture of your fingers slipping behind the painting shows a flexible surface. On the back is a stamp from the art supplier #3297 I believe. Perhaps Bristol board which was invented in 1800. Look closely at the stretcher bars and see if there are slots cut on the inside corners for keys. If there are the stretcher is late 18th. century on. However since the painting (if it is a painting) being done on board would not require keys.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
