[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4446505, member: 84"]I posted these before asking if they were worth the $100 each asking price. They sat in the thrift store manager's office & I looked at them every day until yesterday when I offered him $80 each & he accepted. One interesting thing I found out - they are on leather, not canvas! And I am pretty sure they are painted because when I looked at them under a magnifying glass, I can see fine cracks in the paint on a lady's face? So hopefully someone here can tell me more about these? Are they painted on leather? (I couldn't find many) Is it leather? (the back of the "canvas" has a soft, fur(?) like feeling to it which makes me think it's leather) When I sell do I call them 'antique painting on leather'? ANY information/thoughts would be greatly appreciated! PS - 1st two photos are of the pair with & without the outer frame they came with [ATTACH=full]382111[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382112[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382113[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382115[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382116[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382117[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382118[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382119[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382120[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]382121[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
