<p>[QUOTE="Elen Beattie, post: 10541877, member: 18081"]Hi all! I picked this painting up at auction recently because I thought this little one was sweet. I'm wondering if she has some age to her and if you think she was likely painted by an amateur or someone a little better? The frame looks older to me but it's not painted on a canvas with stretcher, rather placed into the frame with a more modern looking piece of cardboard added for stability and a wooden back. Does she look like she has been painted on canvas and cut down? It's a bit confusing. No sig that I can see. The painting is 8x10" unframed. Any info appreciated, thank you! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]529674[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529675[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529676[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529677[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529678[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529679[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529680[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]529681[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
