YOU'R...Thank you Chris for your quick response. YOU'RE THE BEST!!!!<br /><br />If it's a repro, it's an old one. I purchased it from a reputable Italian art dealer whom I've purchased many old prints from. I'll check for a watermark. At least that might pin down a general date for me.<br /><br />Again, great blog. I've read every blog. Very, very helpful. Please keep them coming.

There are lots and lots of reproductions that sound like this, most prints that copy from drawings in museums and sold originally at a museum store. You might have an original, of course, but without looking at the process (under magnification) we couldn't tell you. If it is a printed image, then it shouldn't rub off onto a finger. An original chalk drawing would. As to process, there are so many processes used for this sort of thing we couldn't guess.Chris Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095758274368520536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4910641775580983726.post-90978453252961807432012-05-19T01:28:58.877-04:002012-05-19T01:28:58.877-04:00Hello,

There doesn't appear to be a plate mark. Just looking at it, I would swear it is a orange chalk drawing, not a print. It even seems to have areas where the chalk has smeared into the white background. How do I tell for certain whether this is an actual drawing or a print of some kind? If you suspect a print, would you care to suggest what type of print it is? Also, will old chalk from a drawing still rub off onto a finger?<br /><br />thanks so much<br /><br />AWESOME BLOG!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
