Condition Report

Framed: 63 x 54cm
The panel is cradled and appears to be in plane. The grain of the panel is visible in places, including to the face and hand, with fine cracking to the paint. Light surface dirt. There are horizontal lines crossing the portrait which appear to correspond to the cradling on the reverse, and are believed to be due to the panel expanding and contracting over time. Please see additional condition images. Examined under UV light a thick varnish has been applied however extensive overpainting is visible.

Buying a pre-loved, antique, or vintage item not only provides you with unique style and value for money but it also helps to reduce landfill, and the annual emissions of an antique or vintage piece can be as little as one sixteenth of those of its new equivalent!

Sworders is proud to be supporting the work of Antiques are Green - the movement that was founded in 2009 to promote “a greener future created from the past”. Read their fascinating carbon footprint study of a Georgian chest of drawers versus a modern equivalent here
