[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4239120, member: 84"]I bought this from a friend today who found it in a storage locker won at a auction. It is BIG (48 x 35 not counting the frame!). I can feel it's on canvas, but look at photo of back - you can see some threads from canvas but it also looks like it has a Masonite(?) border - isn't that unusual? One thing - it's not signed anywhere that I can find? (photo of bottom is to show there's no signature) I'm sure it's a good piece because it reminds me of a well known listed artist who was known for the large hands & feet on the people in his paintings - I can't remember his name but I believe he was central/south american.
