Engraving done by emery walker. Maybe a copy of a Cranach painting?

191: Engraving by Emery Walker (English, 1851-1933) : Lot 191

Actually, it isn't Adam and Eve, it's Apollo and Diane--by the same artist--as shown here:

191: Engraving by Emery Walker (English, 1851-1933) : Lot 191 why does this one say $9,500

Maybe you should take the piece and possibly the painting as well, to an Art Gallery for identification as to what it really is and what it is worth.

Dont know why the price change between those two links.
What is the size of your print.?

The one you posted is 2009 & the other is 2010 & the one's they have say circa 1990, so they must of printed out a couple in 1990 but mine the paper is so yellow & I found behind a painting that dated back to 1940 so I'm thinking it could be original and the paper seems like it is decaying.

& whoever hid this piece of paper in the painting cut the sides to meet the frame so I don't know the original length of the paper so I don't why they wanted to hide it so badly.

Maybe because it is very valuable or it is stolen Art that was hidden behind the Painting and smuggled out of some Country, who knows!!

Its not necessarily a case of someone 'hiding' it - they probably cut it to size to fit in the frame to display it and later added another painting. It is much more likely that they were just reusing the frame and didn't want to throw out the old print so left it there. The simpler explanation is usually more likely - less exciting than an international gang of art thieves and smugglers - but more likely....
