<p>[QUOTE=&quot;benbenny007, post: 463363, member: 4194&quot;]Thank you April, I will have a look into this artist. I couldn&#039;t find the date 1985 you mentioned, that small fragment of two numbers you see can be anything.&nbsp; But my guess is that it&#039;s not that modern. This is a much earlier and different style work than the artist you mentioned . The style, the ageing and discoloring suggest it&#039;s much older. Guess its early 1800s if not maybe older.&nbsp; It&#039;s common that pictures were mounted on board or such in a later period.&nbsp; Many times they did this to preserve a picture or after a repair.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess that it also could have been a cut-out of a much larger work.&nbsp; Larger paintings in the early days were more common to be made on canvas because a large piece board was to costly. </p><p><br /></p><p>I can also remember that many paintings and large icons were cut-out in smaller sections or such?. But can not remember it correctly so could be mistaken. Maybe somebody else has more if about this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
