[QUOTE="AntiqueBytes, post: 9873329, member: 13195"]I saw this in my local antique mall the other day. I wanted to take it off the wall to photograph the other side but the dealer had the price tag stuck to the wall which made it impossible. The whole thing was heavy and the back looked like it was made of cork, but only a type of heavy material that just looked like cork on the surface but was much denser. Does that seem authentic? She always seems to get the best stuff in the mall, and so I'm wondering the provenance on this. It's a copy of a Raphael. There are several hand done copies of this painting. The cracklature makes me think it's real. It was just about two feet high, probably smaller. [ATTACH=full]495723[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]495724[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
