<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Goodykoontz, post: 11936245, member: 82566&quot;]hi everyone.&nbsp; i&#039;ve had this painting for several years now, i&#039;ve intended to upload some pictures here in the hope of identifying the emblem on the woman&#039;s right sleeve(see pics).&nbsp; i&#039;ve thought it might be some abolitionist emblem or temperance&nbsp; emblem.&nbsp; i&#039;ve always assumed she&#039;s from the 1850s to maybe the early 1870s, but that&#039;s just a guess.&nbsp; the painting is completely unsigned, so i don&#039;t know how likely it is to identify the artist, but if anyone has any guesses that would be great too.&nbsp; this was found in a thrift store.&nbsp; the frame isn&#039;t original.&nbsp; also, as you can see, the backside doesn&#039;t appear to be very old at all.&nbsp; i would describe the surface it&#039;s painted on as some sort of artist&#039;s board.&nbsp; this has always been one of the mysteries to me about this piece.&nbsp; i figured it was originally framed in such a way that the back never got exposed to air or whatever it is that causes aging.&nbsp; also, the painting itself measures 8&quot;x10&quot;.&nbsp; any help will be appreciated...thanks[ATTACH=full]550168[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]550169[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]550170[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]550171[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]550172[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]550173[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
