I recently acquired it at an estate sale of a woman who was an antique dealer for many years. I’m certainly not an art expert, so I will attempt to describe it as well as I can, but please ask any questions you might have. The clothing appears to be painted, but I don’t see or feel any brush strokes on the faces. However, the faces do look painted, just no obvious brush strokes. The surface that the portrait is on doesn’t feel like canvas. It’s’hard’, but’bumpy’. The faces do look that’s what they could be. The clothing has some brush strokes, so they might also be hand tinted, then perhaps some paint was added. I just can’t tell for sure. The picture is huge, with a framed measurement of 34″ x 27 1/2″. The frame has a few scratches, but nothing significant. There is a signature at the bottom, but it’s so very faint that I can just barely make out that it’s a signature at all. I have no idea what it says, though. There are a few scratches near the bottom of the picture. This is just weird enough that it’s extremely cool! I mean, really, who wouldn’t want this hanging over the mantel. Guaranteed, this will be the focal point of any room, and its sure to be a conversation starter with any social group you are entertaining!
