How do I date an antique portrait?

Dating relies on the style of the sitter's costume, the framing materials, and any visible signatures or inscriptions on the reverse. Material analysis of the canvas or wood panel further helps narrow down the period of creation.

What is the difference between oil on canvas and oil on panel?

Canvas provides a textured woven surface stretched over a wooden frame, which became the dominant support for paintings from the seventeenth century onward. Panel paintings use solid wood boards, offering a rigid and smooth foundation often found in earlier works.

How should I care for an old oil painting?

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity levels to prevent the canvas or wood from warping. Dust the surface gently with a soft, dry brush without applying any liquid cleaners or commercial polishes.

What does naive art mean in portraits?

Naive art refers to paintings made by self-taught artists who disregarded strict rules of perspective and anatomical proportion. These works possess a charming directness and honesty that sets them apart from formal academic portraiture.
