<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SeaGoat, post: 265509, member: 1136&quot;]I was at an estate sale of a elderly man who passed away. </p><p>He had been an antique dealer and auctioneer for many many&nbsp; years so his house and out building was STUFFED.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prices on all the furniture was out the nose so I was forced to focus on smalls.</p><p><br /></p><p>Above the door of outbuilding hung this picture. </p><p>Originally I thought she was nude but she is wearing some sort of undergarment.</p><p><br /></p><p>Right after I bought it I had a man approach me trying to buy it from me. Not sure of what I have I politely declined. </p><p><br /></p><p>Looking further into it it seems to be an engraving from Henner&#039;s original oil on canvas</p><p>Ive seen it called Solitude, Madeleine, and Mary Magdalene.</p><p>There are differences in the original and in mine, for example, his are actual bare breasted. </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZRUmULQ8JqU/WCtNaFpy0dI/AAAAAAABA-E/tpL6xzvmPZcm5ooJVxUnjzlMwx-3Wme0gCLcB/s1600/Jean-Jacques%2BHenner%2B-%2BMary%2BMagdalene%2B1880.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>The original sold here for $57,000 and they call it MARY MAGDALENE</p><p><a href="http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2007/19th-century-european-art-n08303/lot.28.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2007/19th-century-european-art-n08303/lot.28.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2007/19th-century-european-art-n08303/lot.28.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyways, I was wondering if someone could tell me what I have and how to safely remove the grime from it..</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]83480[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]83481[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]83482[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]83483[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]83484[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]83485[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]83486[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
