tree-ring-dating to determine the age of the wood panel

Tree ring dating would reveal the age of the tree at the time the tree was cut down to make the panel. Or not. It would not reveal how long ago that happened. Carbon dating would. And tree ring comparison with known samples from the same species during the same period from the same specific area could might possibly sort of sometimes be helpful.

I, too, believe the real Shakespeare was Edward de Vere, the Earl of Oxford.

My Gaydar just went off. Welcome to the Gayborhood!

And for those who are asking, I’m a gay man trapped in a woman’s body.

It was billed as a true portrait as well.
