LOT DETAILS

Materials:

oil on canvas laid on board

Size Notes:

Board: 46.5 by 46.5cm, 18 by 18 in.

Edition:

Executed on canvas which had been laid down on masonite. The canvas does not cover the very right edge where the artist painted directly onto the board. There is craquelure throughout, including some cracks to the background which are lifting. There is an associated loss to the paint layer above the sitter's left wrist. There are further losses to the edges and corners. The surface is covered in a light layer of dirt and the varnish has discoloured. Inspection under UV light reveals a large area of retouching to the sitter's left hand and arm, a smaller area to the blanket below her right hand, as well as retouching in places along the edges. Framed.
