How do I identify the period?

Study the construction methods of the wood and the specific style of the gesso ornamentation. Different centuries favoured distinct moulding profiles and gilding techniques. Compare the framing style with dated examples from the same artistic movement or decade. The joining techniques at the corners often reveal the era of manufacture.

What is oil on board?

This medium involves applying oil paint directly onto a rigid wooden panel or stiff board rather than woven fabric. It provides a stable surface favoured by artists for smaller landscape and portrait studies. Boards often appear in nineteenth and twentieth-century works, offering a durable alternative to stretched canvas.

Are oval frames original?

Oval frames were specifically constructed to house curved canvases or specially cut portrait panels. They required specialised woodworking techniques to bend or carve the timber into a continuous loop. Many period portraits utilise this format to draw focus toward the subject's face.
