<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 4387863, member: 6444"]So this looks like a painting on Masonite to me. Picture of the back may prove otherwise. But if it is Masonite, that wasn't invented until 1924 and widely used until the 1930's in the US. I've looked at this because of its use in furniture. I don't know whether it was exported from the US or what was used in UK, Europe, maybe there was something similar in those countries with different dates?</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, the masonite shows through on the painting, it was not prepped with undercoating. Which usually indicates to me that it was not done by a professional artist, though I sure there are exceptions. Signed in pencil also suggests that to me? Maybe those with more experience will say I am full of it?</p><p><br /></p><p>So my feeling, pending pics of the back, is that this could be a 20th century student work in the style of Nabis?
