<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 185790, member: 56"]My guess would be that it's a real painting, but not an old one. And that <u><i>is</i></u> a guess. It looks to me like the kind of texture you get from a heavily applied layer of fairly liquid paint and I'm thinking it might be an antiquing technique, an attempt to make the painting look old. Can't be sure though. Don't know what to make of the brittle canvas. I can't see any advantage to making the canvas brittle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
