Hello All,
i recently acquired an unusual piece and am struggling to find any other examples so wondered if anyone had any ideas?
It what appears to be a antique photographic portrait printed into a fine mesh/ gauze.
There are some hand painted details (dress button, highlights etc) and the whole piece measures 20” x 14”. It was once framed - the edges show the original colour of gauze / mesh. The whole thing is amazingly transparent when held up to the light.
Not sure of age or technique and can’t find another example. I have attached some images here, would love to hear anyone’s thoughts.
Thanks,
CJ
ps. No idea why some pictures are coming out sideways, sorry
