<p>[QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 12015828, member: 18081"]Hi all, having trouble figuring out if this is an oil painting or a type of print with added paint. The description when I bought it indicated, "The original source for this image is a celebrated photograph by Edward S. Curtis, taken around 1927. Curtis was an American photographer and ethnologist renowned for his extensive 20-volume project, The North American Indian, which aimed to document the cultures of over 80 tribes."</p><p><br /></p><p>I have looked through a loop and there are no dots. I can see paint but other areas are so smooth they are almost photograph-like. The backing is cardboard, it looks like the picture is stuck on to it. It measures 16.5"L x 13.5"W framed and 13.75"L x 11"W unframed. I can't tell of the cracking is real or faux. It also looks quite yellowy, may be nicotine stained. No sigs that I can see. All info appreciated, thanks! </p><p>[ATTACH=full]551152[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551153[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551154[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551155[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551156[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551157[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551158[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]551159[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]551161[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
