<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AuDragon, post: 375220, member: 6974&quot;]Hi everyone, I just bought this small still life, artist unknown &quot;Still Life with Violin&quot; with an elaborate (but newish) gold frame. It think it will look lovely in my study. It&#039;s painted on what looks like a thin board. It&#039;s out of the frame now and the &quot;oil&quot; looks quite flat and lifeless, also very dirty, and I now wonder if it is acrylic. I&#039;ve seen someone talk about testing acrylic/oil with the cotton tip and &quot;spit&quot; test, but I am not sure what this is or what I should be looking for. Any advice or help before I clean the painting would be appreciated.[ATTACH=full]129151[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]129152[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
