Message:: [QUOTE="Lithographer, post: 4292109, member: 13308"]Hi, I purchased this painting yesterday at a local consignment shop. It is oil on panel, I think the wood of the panel is oak. The panel measures about 10 1/2" by 9 1/2". The wood for the frame is something lighter and does not have a pronounced grain. There is some writing on the back of the frame. The decoration seems to be applied like you would apply slip on pottery. There are places where the decoration has fallen off and you can see the wood of the frame. The painting had a card attached to the back and it appears at one time it was owned by Katherine Roche ( may be penciled on the back of the frame?). Katherine Roche had a radio show on WGN in Chicago. The note seems to imply that it was purchased from her estate. I am not sure what the comment about the Chicago Art Institute has to do with the painting. I am guessing it was painted maybe mid 19th century. I don't really have an idea of what country it was painted in. I do believe that it is a copy of a painting by Raphael. Hopefully someone will have some insight as to it's origin.[ATTACH=full]345759[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345760[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345761[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345762[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345763[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345764[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345765[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345766[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]345767[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
