Spanish term

papel entelado

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
This is from a label for a work by an Argentine artist. I am not sure whether it refers to linen paper or simply to paper that has been lined with canvas or fabirc of some sort.
The information for the label reads:

óleo sobre papel entelado

Peer comment(s):

agree Charles Davis : Laid on canvas / laid down on canvas both commonly used. Laid to canvas correct but less frequent.
