<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 556248, member: 6444"]You need to keep a pastel/gouache behind glass or it will be ruined quickly. Unlike an oil/acrylic painting which is better left open without glass. So if the old frame broke he may have bit the bullet to reframe before too much damage done. Looks like tourist work to me from mid-20th century (though I could certainly be wrong), so I think his picking it up on a visit there makes sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
