[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 1092067, member: 8184"]Lots of humans tape their canvases, so yes, you do end up with perfectly straight edges. Though not usually on the front of the painting. :joyful: The white could easily be primer or underpainting. I do wonder if something new was painted over an old canvas and then a gallon of thick varnish was put on it. I don't know. I'm 99% certain this not a giclee, but I don't know what it is. I suspect the stretcher bars are about as original to the piece as the frame. My number one red flag is still the style of the painting. And that I'm pretty sure a straight edge was used for a goodly portion of the rigging lines.:woot:[/QUOTE]
