[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 537011, member: 2844"]Welcome to the forum, Rainbowdust. As you have already seen, a forum is always made up of different people with different opinions. Fwiw, here is mine.:) The painting doesn't look Tonalist to me at all, but not amateur either. I agree with mos, the painting is very dirty, and it looks like the varnish has yellowed or it has been in an environment with (heavy) smokers.;) The dirt and discolouration could hide nice details. The frame is beautiful. Acanthus leaf motifs are classic, and frames like that were made for quite some time. This sounds disgusting, but even professionals do it: put some simple spit on cotton wool and rub it on a small area where you could expect detail, and also on a small part of the sky. You will see what the colours and details really are like. Could we see some details of the painting?[/QUOTE]
