(Madonna With Crossed Hands) oil on canvas, 18th-19th Century, , , Condition: This work is remounted on canvas. The original shows signs of having been stored rolled with cracking and splitting when flattened and glued down to the new base canvas. There is a patched hole center. There are other defects and creasing and the occasional small tear. The stretcher strip are genuinely antique if not original. There are remains of a printed paper with antique Gothic text at the edges possibly from a prior wrapping that was never completely removed. See photos for more details. Possibly some trimming at the sides and top as handled over the years with the work probably meant to be a round image. Size: 32 by 28 in. (80 x 70 cm.) Framing: Sold unframed Note: A typical Madonna of the era of Raphael The pose seen here, with crossed hands, is not common and speaks to an independent work by a skilled artist. The skillfully painted hands are not often seen in work by inferior artists and copyists.
