[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 9423227, member: 56"]I wouldn't call this mounting passepartout. See this thread for passepartout: [URL]https://www.antiquers.com/threads/reverse-painted-silhouette.77336/#post-9337043[/URL] (And the name of Phineas Fog's valet in "Around the World in 80 Days".) This looks more formally framed. Personally, I'm not getting a baroque (17thC) sensation from this drawing, but my knowledge is not sufficiently in-depth for that to be meaningful. When you said you were willing to spend 20€, I thought that was inexpensive for an original drawing, but I don't do valuations (lack of knowledge and experience), I don't know the circumstances of the sale or the venue in which you found it, and I don't know your financial circumstances. Not my place to suggest you spend more. But not to worry: there will be other drawings, and you now have a bit more knowledge and experience yourself.[/QUOTE]
