    Hi all

    This was something else I found today in a charity shop

    Very Small little Indian painting (under glass)

    I'm assuming the framing is far more recent than the painting but unsure

    On an odd kind of paper, which has signs of foxing

    Any age to the painting ?

    Any thoughts appreciated

    That dusty pink mat is very early 1980s.

    Yeah I think the frame is from around that time, it was framed in bideford devon, so has no connection to the painting

    I'll have to take the painting out to see what under

    Looks to me like a typical piece of tourist art. It may be painted on old paper (I have had similar in the past), but that does not necessarily make it old.

    whats underneath sure looks older than the framing job

    not sure what that type of paper is called ?

    ive got some nice old miniature frames it might look better in, might take a bit of snipping though:)

    JMHO but... I think both the frame and mat work well with the image. A framer today just might choose a different color mat.
