<p>[QUOTE=&quot;QJS, post: 588983, member: 10587&quot;]Hi.</p><p>We have several pieces by John Emms in the family. How thickly is the paint applied ? Is the background applied more sparingly ? as he never wasted paint on the background detail. As far as I am aware all his work was in oil on course canvas or paper in pencil. Have you any close ups that show the hair , especially on the ears, tail and feet, taken at an angle of 50/60 degrees to the surface.&nbsp; The inner framing looks original , are you sure the backing board has not been glued to an original canvas in earlier renovation? </p><p>However, no matter what the outcome&nbsp; from a distance it looks as if it could be one of his. Allot of his works vary in quality and consistency depending on his mood. I personally like his work and his works were not all just portraits.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
