. It is framed in a velvet shadow box and then framed with a gesso gold gilt frame. Painting: 6 by 8 inches. It appears to be a very thin photographic image that has been pasted to the canvass and then been colored with oil paints. The lifting image on the canvass has canvass texture on the back side and if you look at the painting from the front the actual canvass texture can be seen on the photographic painting "what ever it is" The frame has the following writing on the inside: 1 - 6036 L or 2 followed by 185T P15642. The lady appears to be wearing a royal red cloke with white and black trim and has a simple crown with a 6 pointed star.

hey John, I really cannot be certain unless you provide better photos and a picture of the back as well. But from what I can see you have a simple shadow box picture that is a duplicate of another famous paiting or Photograph. From the looks of the lady she is english But more importantly the gold guilding is called a shell floral design and it is attributed from the english corner shell marketry. without seeing it really well I would say (based on seeing these before) that it could be from the 1920 or 30's but don't hold me to that since I cannot really see it closely. Some of these pictures were reproduced in more comtemporary times and some were from the late 1800's. the numbers that you are showing are studio numbers where the makers puts their identification number on their work. If you research these numbers you can find out exactly where and when this was made. Studio numbers started in the late 1700's on most frames. These numbers are how I research my items

Looks like a Gainsborough. He specialized in portraiture in England in the eighteenth century. To avoid the flash glare from your camera take the photo on a slight angle so the flash bounces away.
