<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ex Libris, post: 9502558, member: 14916&quot;]As some people here I am more a book collector, but I have bought a small oval painting (31x23 cm / 12x9 inch) which I thought had a decent quality, that fits with my book collection. I don&#039;t know anything about paintings.</p><p><br /></p><p>After a bit a research I think it is after a now missing painting of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_van_Dyck" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_van_Dyck" rel="nofollow">Anthony van Dyck</a> (Antwerp 1599 - London 1641), painted at the end of the 1620&#039;s and depicts Saint Francis of Assisi at the foot of the Cross. A think my painting is from around 1700. No signature. The border (some kind of raisin) is partly missing.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you all think? Is it real? I paid 95 euro for it, because I really liked it, is that a good prize? Should I let it framed? Is it worth it?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]449446[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]449448[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Detail</p><p>[ATTACH=full]449449[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]449451[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a <a href="https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/collectie/SK-A-104" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.rijksmuseum.nl/collectie/SK-A-104" rel="nofollow">copy of the original</a> at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]449450[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
