if not a secret, how much?
It is possible to lichku.

What is drawn in, there simply is not defined - need a picture in infrared radiation. But on a stretcher have any signs - one on his side, where the labeled Art Consulting. Give them big, perhaps something and read it. And the Belgians, then something about this picture, you say?

sergejnowo, Europe is not it? Judging by stretcher .:D

Purchased for $ 4500
The owner said he bought the work from the castle to the north of France, generally cool muzchina - he travels with his wife to rest all sorts of old castles and buying only what is like combining business with pleasure pozeznym :)
On the stretcher is written School Van Dyck.

For $ 4500 I would have you on a stretcher and the story would have Bunin, for example, small enough to contain small-small handwriting ... Or a piece of "Mtsyri, eh? :)
Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641)

What is similar, the second signature - M. BABUT. [With the letter YAT at the end]

Hardly. Rather - is the theme servant, once a fashionable artists of the Renaissance.
Work on the modern. For two centuries, canvas does not obvis, no decay of kinks along the bends in the frame and of course along the inner ribs and even the photos can be seen that the film does not pull, was stretched on a frame, this time (look for areas of the canvas threads on nails). Primer Oil-gray and pigment passed through due to poor sizing, ie no middle layer of white chalk (artists of two centuries ago tended to be dismissive of technology). Stretcher modern, early 20 century, etc.
The painting was done professionally, but the author could be anyone.
In my view a free copy.

Super!
As to the ground - in the examination: Dark-gray single-layer soil based on carbon black, and white lead. (as you learned on photo :): confused :)
