<p>[QUOTE="Doug Ketcher, post: 9806911, member: 78526"]Hello All, I recently bought an interesting artwork at an estate sale and was hoping anyone could provide some insight on it. The artwork is framed and 48 inches wide x 33 inches tall and appears to have been transferred onto black fabric versus paper or wood. It features a man and his wife praying at an alter or tomb and appears to be a memorial to "Nicholas Martyn" since the inscription between Martyn and his wife (I believe) says, "<i><b>Here lyeth the body of Nicholas Martyn, Esquire who departed this life and slept with his fathers 29th day of March an 1595</b></i>...". So, what exactly do I have here? Is it a rubbing off of the original tomb? Any idea when it was made? ANY info would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks!!!![ATTACH=full]487404[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]487405[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]487406[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]487407[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
