Item Description: This wonderful piece measures 11 1/4" tall x 8 1/4" wide without frame. In my opinion it is in good condition. Not excellent, but good. Below you will find some information that I have received from different art galleries, Houston & New York, along with info from the Roman Catholic Church. The value that has been placed on it ranges from $500 to $2500 and this is based strictly on pictures through emails. I have taken plenty of pictures for you to view. I would like to add that the frame is pretty awesome as well. I did receive a letter from Sotheby's Auction House. They requested "real" photos of the engraving. I never followed through with them as I don't take "real" photos anymore, everything is done online now. And Sotheby's stated it might take up to 12 weeks. Below are just 2 of the emails I received about this engraving. The shipping price is flat rate & to include insurance as well. This is for U.S. shipping only. However I will ship world wide, just email me for a price quote. Please feel free to email me with any & all questions! I forgot to mention the glass. . .pressed as it is wavey. Very different looking from the modern glass. Info sent to me on the engraving: As the drawing states in Latin, it is: "The true image of the Sacred Face of Our Lord Jesus Christ". It is the likeness of the veil of St. Veronica that is kept in St. Peter's Basilica. The red wax means that it is a 3rd order relic (It was touched to the veil). Deborah, your art is by Antonio Puccinelli Italian (1822-1897) The Sudarium (Vera Effigies Sacri Vultus Domini Nostri Jesu Christi) It is an Etching and engraving printed on linen, with margins outside the presumed platemark This 19th-century religious conceit was obviously done on linen not for the quality of the printing surface, but clearly to offer an additional resemblance to the original, preserved as a holy relic in St. Peter's. The legend of Veronica (vera - icon, true image) who wiped the sweat from Christ's face with her linen veil as he passed her house on the way to calvary and found the image of his features impressed on the cloth, is not in the bible but appears to have arisen in the early 15th century. In a different form it appears in Voragine's The Golden Legend. This copy is in what appears to be in good condition. <p>Enjoy the pictures!
