[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9970026, member: 79705"]Definitely a painting. Some oil painting techniques are about minimizing brush strokes as much as possible and varnish can flatten everything out as well. He's also small so not much paint used in strokes to begin with. The style looks older to me, and he does have some craquelure, but not a huge amount. Paintings can be copied and cracks can form in temp changes, but I'd say at least early 19th if not older. I'm no expert though. What an excellent find! He's really well done and fairly big.[/QUOTE]
