<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 10284485, member: 79705&quot;]To me it looks like a retouched and varnished print...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>If painted in a traditional way (even as a master copy) there would be paint all along the edges. That&#039;s even how we verify authentic masterworks today. All I see is a faint white line edge at the surface and the wood darkening from a varnish top coat.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then there&#039;s the brush strokes. Typical retouched pieces will have thick, quick, and very casual paint application on highlights, collars, fabric, etc. but almost never on the face details or delicate parts of the hands. If this was a real painting in a more impressionist style, then these areas would have a similar stroke pattern and style.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then there&#039;s the very perfect copy. I&#039;m not on my computer but I&#039;m being if we lined them up they would be exact. You look at the curved line of a back, the negative space shape between figures, etc. The things that change ever so slightly when you copy something from scratch. </p><p><br /></p><p>I would be very happy to be wrong but it doesn&#039;t smell right to me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie17" alt=":bag:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
