<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 3892623, member: 37"]I can not speak to the style of the paintings as appropriate to the supposed age. The signatures in red also look a bit suspect. However, the frames appear to be better than those typically found on factory paintings and have some age. Also, what looks suspiciously like a plywood luan panel in the photo may actually be a mahogany board. I think I see a bit of a relatively thick bevel at the bottom where the paper is torn. Perhaps a better photo of this area could clear this up. Likewise, I agree the paper looks suspiciously aged. A photo in less bright light might help to see this better as well. While some of the red flags of factory paintings are present, I think these bear some more investigation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
