[QUOTE="techbiker, post: 4551351, member: 60629"]Looks like canvas mounted on board. The canvas might be older than the mounting board, especially since it doesn't appear to fit the board. OP, I suggest you see if you can narrow down the age of the frame and board. Check to see if the outside edge of the canvas is smooth. If it appears to be cut unevenly, the canvas may have originally been mounted on stretchers. Edit: I see an uneven cut on the right side of the exposed canvas edge in your verso view. This painting may have originally been mounted on stretchers. Suggest you carefully remove the board and examine the other edges.[/QUOTE]
