Re: Oil on linen painting

Brian,

Why do you think that the painting is on linen? If it seems to be stretched and sized canvas, it is certainly cotton. You'd want a textile expert to evaluate the foundation if you have some reason to suspect linen.

Method of mounting (i.e. is it stretched on a wood frame) is one thing to look at.

Painterly style is another.

Visitors to this site could not give any advice on these subjects without photographs.

Best regards,
Judy
