<p>[QUOTE="2manybooks, post: 537470, member: 8267"]From the detail of the edge, it looks like this painting may have been cut down from a somewhat larger canvas and put onto a smaller stretcher. There is primer and paint visible on the canvas edge, but the nail head is not painted over - meaning the painted canvas was attached to the current stretcher. (Not the usual sequence of mounting the canvas on the stretcher, priming, and then painting.) There also appears to be an irregularly cut edge on the canvas. So it may have been cut down to fit the frame, which may indicate a different date for frame and painting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
