LOT DETAILS

Materials:

oil on panel

Measurements:

6.00 in. (15.24 cm.) (height) by 4.50 in. (11.43 cm.) (width)

Condition:

The panel is flat, cradled, and unbeveled. A thin crack running the length of the panel through the center has been recently repaired and is stable. The paint surface is well preserved despite yellowing varnish and a detailed portrait image reads well. Retouching to address the crack and frame abrasion along all 4 edges is barely visible to the naked eye and is not distracting. Under UV inspection, a thick varnish is difficult to read through. A recent campaign of very fine retouching is visible along the vertical crack as well as four pin dots, one in the background and three in the man’s hair. Offered in a simply carved enclosed giltwood frame with a decoratively carved liner
