Oh my, you can study the signature of the artist, the history of the painting and its frame. You can study the form of the brush strokes, but even with all that you would still miss a lot if not able to manipulate it. Just trust the museum ✨️

I have a woodcarving by José Guadalupe Posada. I will send you a photo of the art if I had an address. The signature on the back appears to be PETTTNM '10. In the middle of the woodcarvings is a small mirror. I appreciate your helping me learn more.
