[QUOTE="lizjewel, post: 2639299, member: 13874"]I wonder if the copy was made after WW II? Masonite became quite popular then for artists who didn't want to pay for stretched canvases, etc. The woman in the original has a pleading, resigned expression in her eyes. In the copy the eyes look defiant, angry, bored too (like modern fashion models!). I wonder if that was intentional? I like the expression on the original a lot better. Expressions is one of the hardest things to duplicate when painting copies of others' works.[/QUOTE]
