<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 4395400, member: 1476"]A Victorian portrait of someone's great- great-. The frame and hardware look correct for period. Are the nails round or flat? Frame was originally gilded but now shows lots of wear. So does the canvas which is suffering from craquelure. If you weren't provided with information by auction house and unsigned, you're unlikely to be able to learn much more. Oh, and it should be oil on board. Masonite wasn't invented until 1924 (by a man named Mason of all coincidences.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
