    Being an artist myself., finding this incredible oil on board original painting (not signed) was just by chance and an incredible find to say the least. My wife and I were driving one day and saw an estate sale sign., we took a closer look and found a treasure trove of incredible furniture antiques and this original oil rendition of Peter Paul Rubens "The Virgin Child with Saints George, Mary Magdalene, Jerome and Augustine". I quickly took a chance on it and bought it....after having it appraised, I was even happier to find out that it was an original oil on board and it appraised for almost 20 times what I paid for it. It's my homes center peice when you walk in the door and it makes an incredible statement...it's almost 6 1/2' tall...the appraisal lady said it was more then likely painted in the last half 19 century., from 1860-80. The frame is also original to the painting. There is still incredible finds out there if you keep looking!

      That is some statement piece! It is a beautiful rendition.
      If you can't have the real one (who could!) this is a fantastic replacement.
