[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 686431, member: 3974"]On masonite or some other type of pressed hardboard - visible area is about 20" width x 20.5" height. In person this painting really comes alive - practically swims with movement if you stand back from it 8 feet or so and take it all in at once. No visible signature although I think the frame is obscuring about 1 inch all the way around. Will take it out of frame soon. Hope to get some better pictures in indirect sunlight tomorrow as the lights in my office at night don't do it justice. I can't tell if the figure in the archway in the back of the picture is wearing a sombrero type hat or if it's something sticking out from the column/wall. It certainly casts a certain feeling over you. Thoughts and ideas on where this might be from and age/quality of the painting itself - I know the pressed board/ masonite limits it to be at the oldest in the first quarter of the 20th. Not sure if it was framed/reframed some time later. Thanks for taking a look!
