<p>[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 501764, member: 3974"]Thanks Zinnie! - Yes I'm not sure when it was put in it's current frame, but I feel like it is in the original mat. I just removed the mat, and the tape was completely dry/brittle and came right off with my fingers without almost any resistance. The drawing is done directly on the art board as far as i can tell - so if we can date the art board perhaps we can get a rough date on the piece, too bad the maker's stamp is cut in half... Unfortunately no real other clues after taking the mat off. No signature visible still. And [USER=602]@Aquitaine[/USER] - I don't think there's a signature where you circled, although it looked promising didn't it? I think it's just how the charcoal sits in that area.</p><p><br /></p><p>For now I've put it back in the frame to keep it safe behind glass. Planning on getting it a new frame/ mat soon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
