<p>[QUOTE=&quot;antidiem, post: 9471380, member: 30&quot;]IF it is not a print as Boland mentioned, it appears to be an unvarnished oil painting with some minor damage where I can see what appears to be white gesso showing in small spots. The white on the frame would likely be plaster decor beneath the paint, very similar. </p><p><br /></p><p>The grain of the wood appears to be diagonal and while not impossible when a scrap piece of wood is used, it&#039;s unusual if that is diagonal wood grain that I am looking at. There is so very little light in the eyes that may be an indication that this person had passed on when their portrait was painted. </p><p><br /></p><p>The paper appears to have been cut down from full size due to damage, perhaps it is from a hymn book? It does not look to be manuscript size sheet music. What is the actual size of this painting, please? 5x7&quot;? 8x10&quot;? </p><p><br /></p><p>The frame looks to have been completely hand carved, not sure what type wood was used, how soft is the wood? I like the frame very much too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
