Description
This painting was purchased at a thrift store on June 18, 2008. An elderly lady in the store who had an extensive art background asked to see the painting before I purchased it. She told me it was several hundred years old and the technique used was "pastel". She told me to be very careful with handling the painting due to its age and technique. The paper on the back crumbled and finally fell off the back. I have a friend who is a Fine Arts Professor of a local Art Institute who I will have look at the painting but is away on vacation this summer. The painting does have a distinct "antique" smell.
